Have just changed the batteries in the fob that came with the TZD, but I fear I wasted my time and money - it still doesn't work. I know on my 306 that you had to pair the fob with the receiver - do I need to do this? If so, how?
If not, what can I try next? I'm letting my aftermarket kit go with the TXD, though I guess I could always buy another one. Not like they're expensive - but I'd quite like to get the genuine item working if I can.
Remote central locking doesn't work - thoughts?

Check with the screen of a digital camera whether there is any output from the fob - should appear as a series of white pulses when the button is pressed. If there is an output then maybe the fob isn't matched with the receiver. Unfortunately there is no automatic way to pair them - it involves soldering and cutting tracks on the PCB.

No white pulses. Guess it's another Ebay special then! Can't be doing with faffing about trying to revive something that might not revive, and is pretty crap even when working well.

Could I buy the fob and receiver from you?

I imagine so. I have a spare received in a box of random BX bits too. Not sure what to replace the receiver with inside the car though...

Ian check the circuit board in the fob for bad solder joint before you dismiss it as dead,
also even though it appears your fob is not transmitting a signal, check inside the receiver pod for water ingress,
as they dont always work when submersed in water
