what you need to do is arm the car by locking it....then when armed,unlock the car dont open the door and press the dimpled button 3 times in less than 3 seconds..rover immobalisers are a pain for that,and when you remove the battery the immobaliser loses the keys memory..its the key that turns off the immobaliser not the fob..but by doing that what i have said it will add the key to the memory again..
hope you sort it
