Is it easy (and cheap) to disable the immobiliser?

I am fed up with key remotes that become faulty and render my vehicles
useless (because the remote also fails to unlock the immobiliser when
faulty).
Rather than the hassle of obtaining and coding a spare key (and still have
the worry of an immobilised car when I can't get to the spare key), would it
just be simpler to disable the immobiliser so that I can use all my actual
key mechanisms to open the door and trhen start the cars?
If so, how do I go about it?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Chrisssss.....
PS I have tried new batteries and reprogramming my spare keys for my two
cars, but they are both still dead.

 

I should have said that the two cars in question are a Peugeot 306 (X reg)
and a Citroen Xsara V reg).

I was lucky in that my car was in a body shop after some young bimbo
had forgotten that more speed, rain and a lack of any real driving
experience limited her cars ability to go round sharp bends.

Anyway, the battery went flat and the keyfob didnt work, so they had to
pay for an auto electrician to come in and bypass the system. Not
sure what he did, but seems to have done the trick. Call a few, they
might only charge £30 to come and bypass the system.

Thanks Adam. Will do. I had an 'orrible feeling that it might be one of
those jobs that Only Citroen could solve, thereby costing the extortionate
fee of £60 an hour just for labour.
