I have tried this but after i turn the ignition 4 times the alert will sound but the LED flashes as usual, won't stay on and pressing the buttons on remote does nothing (i have just changed the battery) Any ideas would be helpful!

Reprogramme the key fob yourself in the following manner.
1. Insert your key into the Ignition
2. Switch from position O to position II four times quickly in Six seconds
3. Quickly remove the key (note your Red LED next to clock stays on for 20 seconds whilst in the learn mode).
4. Quickly press the locking or unlock button to programme the key during this 20 second period (note the LED should flash accordingly)
5. Reinsert the key into the ignition and turn on/off to exit the programme.

Your key should now be reprogrammed. Best of luck!
