Thanks for the reply.
I have a spare key that does/did start the car no problem but the rf locking doesn't work, but will try after trying an new battery in the normal working key first. I suspect it will make no difference but I can tick that one off/rule that one out.
This morning it refused to start, but after a couple of lock/unlock and start cycles, it was the same, until I fiddled with the drivers door loom, then it started straight away.
The Haynes manual only show the ir locking system, so will hunt down the rf system which I hope will be on here.
Am I correct in assuming that, when the doors are dead locked, a dead lock signal is sent to the door, which then deadlocks, and a feedback signal is sent to the "computer" saying thet " yes, the door is now deadlocked" via a mechanical/electronic signal, and, when un dead locked signal sent, door un deadlocks and an undeadlocked mech/electronic/electrical signal is sent to the computer ??
Maybe that sensor is a bit dicky/needs lubing/bad connection etc........
