Ok so we don't go round houses. Does the key Fob actually work. Light up when you press it?

Yes to fob lighting!
Right i though he said it did not work. Then what you say can be the only explanation. Just read he says he had intermittent problems before this. So RF receiver change could be the answer. Some is going to have to lay some cash out.
Unfortunatly..!!

Thinking the first step should be to check systems with a computer and the rf change is a given no?

WTF do you mean "check the systems with a computer"? You can check the RF receiver with a Faultmate or Nanocom etc but the first step, bearing in mind your man disturbing things must surely be to check that you have power to the RF receiver.
Buy yourself a Nanocom if you plan keeping the car, it will pay for itself in no time.
What? A Digital Volt Meter??
Try Maplin- a cheapie would be less than £15 no doubt!

It's a piece of **** but good enough for this sort of thing. A bag of leads and crock clips etc will nearly double the price but does make life a little easier.

I meant with a faultmate etc yes agreed, keep coming back to the same thought that rf has no power and is also intermittent

Wish it could be fixed with a spanner and some WD40, would be much more at home!!!!
