Thanks Gareth
Since joining today and entering my car problem, this morning i raised the bonnet to check the oil. On closing it the car would not lock so i left it. We went out for lunch. On arrival and to my amazement i opened the boot with the key fob. There must be a sequence delay after opening and closing the bonnet. Will let you know if this recovery is short lived . As a bit of extra info the car is 8 years old with just 13500 genuine miles on the clock
