Default Norwegian fix - works!

First time I've ever heard of it.

Otherwise people tend to recommend a main battery disconnect for half-an-hour, if that fails then Toaf can reactivate remote boards.

Yes - tried this trick and it did the job, now all restored as before and both my key fobs work on my MG ZT. I wonder if it is capacitors in the system that are discharged by shorting out the 2 leads like that?
