as per the advise on here, I contacted Ofcom and they came out to have a look.
how embarrassed was I to find out it was my house causing the problem.
turn main power off and fobs started working.
still have to narrow it down to which bit of kit it is causing the problem which I will do when I get home Friday, but looking like it could be the WIFI
where is your spare fob ? SWMBO came to find me a day or so back as D4 alarm was going off and nothing she could do would stop it. Turned out I had the other fob in my pocket and was effectively pressing on the panic button ! also learned that if panic button is used, only the fob that triggered it can be used to cancel it

I still haven't found the offending item. it happened again last weekend and I turned off the wireless router, amazon echo, phillips hue hub, sound bar and it didn't cure it, but turned all power off and it cured issue again. so next time it happens there is the nest thermostat to try and some lightwave sockets. touch wood it has lasted all week without a problem so far

likely to be RFI from a cheap switch mode power supply.
If you have any ethernet over mains adapters they often cause RFI issues. Also some TV's have terrible PSU's in them.
Afraid that its trial and error until you find it.Dorian Woolger

found the problem it was the wireless dog fence, it had got knocked and set to a greater distance which is then interfering. I don't even use it now just hadn't unplugged it, so at least sorted

Sorry to hear it was your own device causing the problem and the embarrassment it caused. The upside is that you got a steer on it and got it isolated and now fixed. Without that you may never have found the cause and cursed every time you went to your car.Current : Discovery 4 HSE (2012 spec)

I'm not scared, I'm outta here.
no it isn't. it actually vibrates rather than shocks. you don't want a shock one they are awful.
I had one once which went off when the dog barked, first time on she didn't stop barking, so I was chasing a dog trying to get it off. never again.
mind you the vibration works quite well initially until they get used to them, but it made a difference in the short time it took them to get used to it
