I have a problem with the above, after removing the battery and then putting it back had a problem starting but after using the remote locking several times started fine. Didn't use the car for a couple of weeks and now can't get it to start at all. Battery is fine, everything works but engine doesn't turn over at all, just silence when you turn the key, am at wits end can anybody help please.

Welcome to the forum, Mark. If it's anything like mine I would make sure the screw battery terminals are tight, mine work loose sometimes. The second thing to check is the small push on wire that connects to the starter motor. The starter is located behind the engine under the air filter / manifold / throttle body area and is a pain to get to but if you snake your arm in from the passenger side and feel about you will find the push on terminal and just make sure it's tight. Mine worked loose and I had all sorts of starting problems. A quick tweak and it's been fine for months.
