I think the Rover uses a rolling key code. Each time you operate the remote it generates a new code. If you put a new battery in the fob you have to do it quickly before it forgets where it is in the code sequence.

If it does forget it needs to go back to a dealer to be re-synchronised with the car.
Think the car battery went flat, not the key's? :-\
The problem might still be related.
The ECU also needs to keep track of the rolling codes for each key. I don't know if the ECU loses it's memory if the car battery goes flat :-\
My 25 had no such issues with having battery removed, or waiting 2 days for a fob battery (from memory, it had 2 cr2032, I thought it needed 1 ;D)

Many thanks for interest shown and advice offered. Mods at MG/Rover forum have been in touch and I'll start working through the list tomorrow... Can't say anymore, been sworn to secrecy.  :-X

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

not that secret-many know so do I now.....  ;) Have to say I was impressed, the 2 mods in contact with me were every bit as helpful as the members on here. Their forum looks good, almost a rival to ours. 'Almost'. As they have no Miggys...  ;) I'm pleased to say that the Rover started first time, not bad after standing outside since early December.  :y
