04 astra wont start with key?

My engine won't start with my key. However the central locking works perfectly. Replaced battery today but no joy. Have put key in ignition - locked and unlocked doors - still no joy.

Using my spare key now to start engine.

What's wrong with it??!!
Vauxhall want £72 to recode key!
