you can do it yourself once you have figured out the push button sequence on the diagnostic socket/plug .

It is on the left suspension tower , it has a plug which parks in a hole after you take the cover off ., you pull this out and plug it into the cars system number socket you want to work with , and there is a push button and red LED to read off codes and inputs .

Yes there are numbered sockets under the cap you need to plug the free plug into socket 1 for the keyless entry . then you need mode 4 for programming , but information on post 1995 440s is very sketchy on the method . i will see what i can find out .

ah ok. i'll take a look when i can. weather was horrible today and despite the car being in a small garage i didnt want to do any more than change the battery and see if it started

Cheers Clan appreciate your advice and effort

I did find the below in another thread when i searched.

--------------------------------------------------------------

1. Fault codes retrieval
• Open the diagnostic system's box cover and place the test cable mounted on the side of the box into an appropriate socket.
• Turn the ignition ON to key position II without starting the engine. Wait about ten seconds.
• Press the button once and hold it for more than one but less than three seconds.
• The LED lamp will flash in successive series of three digits followed by a three-second pause. If there are no fault codes stored, it will flash 1-1-1 indicating the system being tested is operating correctly.
• Count the successive flashes and record the fault code.
• Press the button again, as described above.
• Record the fault code. If it is the same as the previous one, then no additional codes are stored. Repeat until all the codes stored are retrieved (often a maximum of three).
• Turn the ignition OFF and remove the test cable from a socket.

2. Erasing fault codes
• Repeat step 1 and read all the fault codes again. Do not turn the ignition OFF after read-out.
• Press and hold the button for more than five seconds, then release it.
• When the LED lights, press the button again for more than five seconds and release it. When the LED goes off, the memory is cleared.
• Test that memory is cleared by performing step 1. Code 1-1-1 should be returned.
Note: erasing fault codes on the ABS socket will cause the ABS control to be lit. It will turn off after a test-drive with speed of more than 40 km/h.

Sockets description
1 – alarm and remote locking system,
2 – fuel system,
3 – ABS,
5 – (investigating),
6 – cruise control,
7 – SRS (airbag).

infact, this -

1. In the under bonnet diagnostic socket, connect fly lead to terminal 1 lock and unlock the vehicle using existing remote

2. Switch ignition on

3. Press test button on the diagnostic socket 4 times, LED illuminates

4. Press button 3 times, then 4 times and then 4 times again

5. Press the unlock button on the first remote

6. Repeat the programming procedure for additional remotes. 4 remotes maximum

Not quite !
for the next remote make the last number 5 times in step 4 .
and if another remote make it 6 etc , there are 4 available slots in memory .

Anyway this method only worls up to 1995 models , There is another proceedure for these not quite so straightforward .

Regarding the remotes , before doing anything more , take batteries out , press unlock and lock , insert batteries and try them again , very often this will get them working again ..

ah ok. well i gave the above procedure a go, but it didnt work. Even when trying your edited version about waiting between each press and wait for a flash from the LED between presses.

I ordered some new batteries last night, so will try the remote again when they get delivered - the remote doesnt even work the door locks, so this surely could be part or all of the problem.

Appreciate your responses clan. I'll have a look for that other procedure.

though you confused me about the press 5 times part.

Ive only got one remote. Do i press the button on the box 4 times. Then press the button 3 then 4 then 5 times?

The LEd on teh box didnt light anyway, so something isnt right.

Hello

After you take out the fuses, if the engine is cranking but no start, next step is to take a wire and fit it from the battery (+) to the start/stop solenoid. When you energize the solenoid, there's should be a "click".
This is a temporary solution... you must open the bonnet and fit/remove the wire every time you start/stop the engine.

Let me know if it works.
