Try a BSI reset:-

Here are the steps (These are followed and if disconnecting the battery for more than 5 minutes).
1. Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off.
2. Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition.
3. Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds.
4. Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.).
5. Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.
6. Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality.
7. Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
8. Remove key open & close door test central locking system.
9. Start the engine and complete the system's check.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items

If this doesn't work, some others will be along to help before too long, in the meantime, whilst you are waiting, have a look here:-

Try doing step one by leaving the door open instead, and then get someone else to hold in the door light switch so that the car thinks the door is shut also I am only presuming you have a switch

Have you tried testing/charging your battery?

Can you not just get someone to sit in the car?

Good point
Also check main fuses

First check the voltage at the battery. Less than 10volts and it's probably a dead 'un. Should read a bit over 12v.
Then check both ends of the battery leads for corroded or loose connections. Remove and clean if necessary.
When you've checked all of those things and it's AOK then start
looking for more complex problems. HTH:thumbsup:
