Please forgive me if you have already done all this and I am therefore upsetting you. The EKA entry is a real pig at times; you have to be so very, very careful.
I know the manual tells you how to do it, but it doesn't accentuate how careful you have to be.

Start.....key turned to locked & back to vertical four times. <<Tells the BecM you are now going to enter the EKA Code>
Then <1st digit> entered in the unlocked (clockwise) direction and back to vertical for each time.
Then <2nd> digit entered in the locked (anti-clockwise) direction and back to vertical for each time.
Then <3rd> digit entered in the unlocked (clockwise) direction and back to vertical for each time.
Then <4th> digit entered in the locked (anti-clockwise) direction and back to vertical for each time.
Finally, Turn once to unlocked and all the doors should unlock and the car "should" be re-mobilised.
It is very important to make sure you deliberately and carefully execute each key-turn AND back to vertical (and no further).
The doorlock contacts do go dodgy with age & use.
The flashing of the side-repeaters or the dashboard lamp (depending on how the system was set up) are your only indications that your entries are being seen.
If they are not consistently being seen then you will need a Nanocom to re-mobilise the engine.
 
Update to all
Despite trying all suggestions several times
Nothing has changed
But I have noticed the red light in the center of the dashtop is flashing constently
I do get flashing indicators but no alarm
Nanocom it is then
Wait Out for further news

Cheers for all your help & advice
I’m gonna leave it alone till Monday
 
The very first thing I did when I got my nanocom was turn off the EKA. If I remember right, wammers disapproves.
 
Turn off the immobiliser as well.
Yep. Did that. When I first got the car I didn't have a working fob and inputting the EKA was a pita. Didn't always work, whether because I'm a fumble fingered f*ckwit or because the microswitches are iffy I don't know.
