Remote key isn't working,changed to a known good battery,the light comes on on the remote but central locking doesn't work.Central locking is ok when using the key.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

You don't show your car details, .. is it the IR or RF type keyfob ??  If it's the RF one it might need resynching, especialy if you have changed the battery ...  place in ignition, turn ignition on, press the "lock" button until doors lock, then the "unlock" button until doors unlock ... should now be re-synched.

This does NOT work for the IR fobs I believe

Sorry I don't know,all I know it is a triangle shaped fob with 2 buttons. 1997 2.0 cdx auto estate.

I think ( an expert will no doubt correct me) the change occured in 96/97 ... so you may have an RF one .. its worth trying anyway .. what do you have to lose it won't harm an IR one and might just work for you

Thanks i'll get my daughter to try it as it's not my car.

That will be an RF type. Presumably it did work (ie, not a replacement fob)?  If so, try resync, if that doesn't help, resolder the connections on the PCB
