Often it is the right code but you must get it right or you get locked out for twenty mins. So then you think it must be wrong.
Look on this forum for the correct way to do this or around the net.
Get a replacement ecu & matched key fob from your local breakers yard.
Make sure you get an replacement ecu with the same part no.
Check out this site: http://www.remotekey.co.uk/cars/rover/rover-400/faq.asp

see these auctions on ebay or contact quoman at http://www.ecuclinic.com

Thought this may help
When entering the code, please follow the steps below. The procedure has to be followed exactly as shown below or as described in your handbook or it will not work.
When turning the key in the lock it must be done with precision and slowly. On some worn locks, you may have to turn the key slightly past the central upright position. If you listen closely you should be able to hear the switches clicking inside the lock.

After 3 failed attempts the system will not let you attempt this procedure again for 10 minutes (30 minutes for Land Rover).

1. Using the ignition key insert it into the drivers door lock.
2. Turn the key clockwise to the locking position (the doors will lock) and hold it in this position for at least 5 seconds.
3. After 5 seconds slowly return the key to a central upright position.
4. The first digit - Turn the key fully, as far as it can go, anticlockwise to the unlock position (the doors will unlock) then back to the central upright position. This should be done the amount of times as the first digit on your security card.
5. The second digit - Turn the key fully, as far as it can go, clockwise to the lock position then back to the central, upright position. This should be done the amount of times as the second digit on your security card.
6. The third digit - Turn the key anticlockwise to the unlock position again, the number of times shown on the security card
7. The fourth digit - Turn the key clockwise to the lock position again, the number of times shown on the security card.
8. Once this has been completed turn the key to the unlock position once.

If the code has been entered correctly, open the door and the red flashing LED light on the dashboard will stop. You will now be able to start the vehicle.
