You must leave the car quite a long time with the ignition on , connect up a charger , It could be 2 hours or it could be overnight depending how many times the incorrect code was put in . Every time it is incorrect it doubles the time you have to wait until it resets itself . I would ensure you have the correct code before trying again !
Thanks very much for your response. Are there many second hand sirens about? Also, are they just plug and play?

The car came with the "off" being displayed on the stereo so looks like I'll just have to sit it out.
