Well as you've requested so politely Simon, here I am returning to give you the definitive diagnosis

This post contains pictures to explain in detail to those members in the Middlesex area, what actually was the problem with the OP's ECU set.

If you're sitting comfortably, I shall begin....................





The transponder in the top casing covered in black goo is the one identified as having a data fault, the lower casing, can anyone spot what the issue is with that?



After resetting the sync on the transponder with the data fault, it now identifies as key two and will start the car




Here we have the ECU identification of the OP's car



And finally the live data of the car running



So what does this all say?, a question directed specifically at our reaident armchair expert Simon SD1too

Well for one, never assume a diagnosis is incorrect and then come back attempting to gloat because you think you know better, as you may find yourself looking a little foolish

If you don't have a valid transponder in a key, the car will not start, if you have no transponder in the key at all in the car it will definitely not start

Neither the above points are the case now, as the OP will have two fully functional key transponders at his disposal once he receives the parcel containing his bits and bobs
