Hi,

Tech-Tronics in Manchester (0161 869 0050) can supply you a fob programmed to your car for £90 +vat (no need to move the car etc).

Cheers

Is the light on the key coming on when you press either button?
Put key in drivers door lock.
Lock then unlock the door and push the lock button on the fob 6 times.
If that doesnt work try the instructions on this site-
