EDIT: just to add to that, my other key works fine. I need to get this sorted, will probably start by checking the key batteries (although they are new and it unlocks the car remotely OK) and then have a look at removing some of the steering column.

This wont help you - but I got some time to play with mine yesterday (see page one of this thread) and realised that the chip is in the top half of the key, next to the blade and not in the remote section. When I built the key into the new case I left the chip in the old bit! refit the old bit and its all happy!
