Many thanks to Gavin. (email address on the answer to Phil). We too had the problem re the immobiliser kicking in, & the remote not opening the car etc. Very quickly today Gavin told us our car code, there's a bit of counting to do (!) but it worked 1st time, & as the key we have ordered will take 5-10 days to arrive from France, it means our son-in-law is going to have wheels for that time. He did this FOC. We couldn't re-syncronise the key, but we COULD start the car & have wheels. Thanks again.
