1) Do you have a small back dome on the plastic trim on the roof liner near the rear view mirror (I am guessing not). YES THERE IS
2) Did it start doing this after you changed the battery in the remote or before? BEFORE I CHANGED THE BATTERY IN REMOTE
3) if you open the key up, is there a small back chip inside or just an empty recess where one should be fitted? NO CHIP - EMPTY RECESS
Thanks guys. Bought chip, fitted into key & got reprogrammed by Tech2 today - all for £87 which is not too bad I think for a main dealer (it makes sense now - I got this car off my mate as it had been left standing for 9 months. The muppet lost the main key & had given me the spare without letting me know).
The only problem I have now is the EML is staying on which I'm guessing could be down to the ICV as it fluctuates sometimes, cutting out once in a blue moon. It probably needs a good motorway run & a bit of brake cleaner here & there. Other than that, some pads all round & a new middle exhaust box & it runs as sweet as a nut - all thanks to you guys who saved it going to the breakers. Thanks again - I'm now off to do that paper clip thing for the EML!
