Correct, but there is no info on whether or not the FOB operates the central locking, so it could be an immobiliser problem, re-syncing the FOB may clear that.
If the fob is synced it can clear engine immobilisation or need for EKA, as sometimes pressing buttons with ignition key in ignition lock can. But if the fob is not synced and EKA code is needed it will do nothing. EKA code must have been entered and accepted before fob can be synced, but this is nothing to do with BECM to ECM sync which is the problem he has. Only diag can cure that.

I'm on this one.
It has a few issue's. It looks like the system has been spiked at some point.
It's more than just diagnostics on this one.
I'll tell you something, It's one of the best P38's out there.

Yes I wanna see it, even though I like the grubby ones
Tell him it's f*cked. Bag of midget gems in the post!
How many miles on the clock? The car, not the wife.... of course.
Might be worth a swap.
Last year I swapped mine for a Stihl jetwash. Awesome bit of kit. Unfortunately the bloke reneged and I had to take her back.
It’s got 135000 I think or 131000 can remember and I’ve been looking at it everyday for the past week!
The cars got about the same too

Derv definitely turns over but won't fire. Don't know about the v8 though.
Think GEMS doesn't. The diesel and Thor were sort of cut and shut job so not as integrated into the BECM as the GEMS.
