You need to open the key casing back up and see if the immobiliser transponder has fell out. If so you need to have a look where you were working to try and find it. If it was a complete new unit that was programmed then swap the transponders around.

Some of the transponders are loose in the casing and can fall out without realising.

As above, there are two 'parts' to the key, the circuit board (operated by the buttons) and battery, and the immobiliser chip in a small oblong recess in the case, which can fall out when the key is opened. As in the earlier post, you need to find the chip if it is missing.

Transponder
Thanks so much to you all for your quick responses.
I have opened the old case and luckily the transponder is still in it. I think I will wait until next week for breakfast meet and take it over and see if Teflon or Peter can help me change it over properly.
