   Try a local garage to see if they have any idea, they might be able to tell you whats wrong..
   
   I don't know what it could be exactly, is there a transponder chip in the key? Could even be the ECU, i'm really not sure

   tried a unlocked ecu still nothing, changed the coilpickup on key, had the keys recoded 2 times, surely there is nothing else to do except put a new loom in?

   your locked out marra.. you need a unlocked ecu.. but you also need to unplug the black box from fusebox under the glovebox.. and unplug the black box by the egnition barrel for the unlocked ecu to work.. you may have locked the new ecu now though im not sure.
