putting what code in exactly ?
have you tried re-synching the fob to the vehicle ?
have you tried re-synching the fob to the vehicle ?
A crude test for fob signal output:Operate fob buttons near to a radio on LW or MW tuned off station, you should hear a click.
Receiver is in instruments pod, remove housing and you'll see receiver, basically on top of speedo, check all connections are clean/tight and retry fob operation.

I can't understand why the emergency code won't work, are you sure your following the correct procedure and accurately returning the key to the upright position each time?
Disconnect the vehicle battery for half an hour and then reconnect it. Not sure but maybe this will reset the CCU.
Press the reset on the inertia switch as well just in case that's been triggered.
Make sure the vehicle is super-locked/alarmed then retry the emergency key code, (make sure you wait the 6 minutes) have the good/working fob actually on the keyring but nothing else when you put the key in the ignition and turning to position 2 after gaining access as this should resync the fob.

Glad it's sorted
. What's the tester and what did you do to the fobs to repair them?buttons wer not operating, and some tw*t had sprayd the fob with wd40 y i dont know, key and fob tester is a simple device that tells you if the key or fob to aany vehicle is sending a signal like i said simple device comes in usefull in a garage tho Sealey IR & RF Key Fob Tester
loads of these things onthe market, but yer after finding out the fob was not sending a signal i striped the fob, this was when i found a puddle of wd40, cleaned the fob with some electrical contact cleaner and unjamed one off the buttons retested and working fine, o yer cause one of the buttons had kinda jammed when i was pressing the button it was not making any contact,and the iother just a clean and seems to be working fine
