Guess what! Solved! I got all the spare keys out (all 3) and the spare remote. It's slightly different to the main ones but as the 3rd key doesn't have a remote I just assumed it went with that. However, it's a remote to set or reset the immobiliser! Nowhere does it say in the manual, or immobiliser instructions, that it's controlled by a remote!! Ludicrous. No wonder Peugeot couldn't work it out, too obvious! Took me 5 days - still, saved me fuel.
Thanks so much for the welcomes and the suggestions. At least I have the car in use again, although dogs aren't impressed as they were enjoying the walk to our smallholding (where the car was) from home, 30 minute walk away!
The car was bought new by an elderly gentleman who was the father of a friend of mine. He died and the car sat in the garage for a couple of years and then my Passat blew up and his daughter asked me if I'd like to buy the Peugeot. With 29k for £650 was a bargain I couldn't refuse. I think I'd get that 2 years on with 45k. I've still got the Passat, was going to sell for parts but never got around to it; did love that car.
