A140 Trouble Starting!

[Rock*]

I Have just bought a A140, 1999, V reg, manual for the wife.

Firstly I recived with it 2 x two button key fobs. Both DID start the car but the buttons did not work on the remote, had to open and lock it with the key.
I tried to sync the fobs but that did not work either!
When I looked closer at the fobs it looks like someone has dilled or broken the red transmitter part of the fob?

Over the last few days the car has become harder and harder to start. now to a point i have given up trying. It turns over but behaves as though its flooded or theres no fuel going to engine. It now takes 5 minutes of cranking over to start

I've not investigated as yet, So looking for some pointers!!

Thanks for taking the time to read!!!!

Key Issue Fixed

Put new batteries in the other fob and sync'ed and all is well on the locking and unlocking!!!!

But still does not want to start!! :-(

Do these have a cold start valve like the old bosch k tronic fuel injection systems????????

The mileage is K89 last services at K87 by a back street garage paid £1350 as it needs a Passanger side rear door and front wing!
But had no probs passing the mot so i'll leave the bodywork, the wife is with child and needs to go to the hospital!
If she can get it started
