OK, i've checked the siren, it looks to be intact, should i replace it anyway?
The wiring loom also appears to be intact, with no loose wires or connections.

One thing i didn't mention is that after the locking stopped working, the deadlock was on. I did get a breif response from the drivers side door where it was interfering with the radio and there was a clicking sound under the dash somewhere (like a relay maybe). The deadlock came off and it stopped workig again. Would the problem be with a relay? If so where would it be?

with what you have told me there, i would look at the relay. do your hazard lights work and if you start the car without the seat belt in does the little seatbelt sign flash (above the interior light)

not sure which one though.

Yes, the hazards work and the seatbelt sign. Do you know the location of the relay?

no idea which one but i think there under the drivers steering wheel.

does anything at all happen when you press the fob button? is the battery (in the fob) in the correct way and did you install it with out touching both the pos and neg? this could cause it to loose all of its charge (rare but it has happened to me on my old citroen) also i had to put the key in the ignition and turn the key 2 clicks to "re program" it.

Silly question, but what happens when you sit in the car and try to lock the doors with the switch on the driver's door switch.

Had a look in VIDA and 2003 onwards cars have an additional relay. Have a look here:

No response from either of the switches inside the car. I have 2 keys and have changed the batteries in both fobs. No response, it's a bit of a head scratcher.
I'll have a look at the relays over the next couple of days

Thanks for all your help

syah,
most probably its the immo antenna around the key lock, this antenna if damaged can cause this symptoms, plus if the car has had the steering column removed a few times

which part of KL ar you in?

Hi Mate did you ever resolve the issue, it sounds exactly the same as mine...
