The problem was or seemed to be that i was using a Remote programming method as instructed because its more reliable but i was then told to give Pass Thru programming a try. This took about 25-30 mins to complete but it worked and all data was then programmed and live data etc was available.
After this i had to enter into immobiliser, installed new engine ecu and exit.
Final procedure was to programme CAN & Variant coding.
Thanks for all the advise.
