Searching for help- ACU unit replacement

Hi all,

A few months ago I ended up with water getting into to the ACU unit underneath the passenger seat. The unit was completely destroyed and so I ended up buying a replacement one from Ebay (from user: phill0_7).

We had an auto-locksmith clone the key fob and the transponder ID from the original unit to the replacement and so the car runs and drives as it did before.

However, the central locking does not work.
It doesn't work from the key but nor does it work from the locking switch inside and there is just no sign that it's registering a command to lock whatsoever.

The vendor on Ebay has said we may need to check the alarm tilt sensor but that he isn't completely sure what the persisting issue could be.

Hence, I'm looking for someone in the UK who might be able to assist with diagnosing and hopefully fixing the issue. It's a fantastic car aside from this one problem and so I'd love to get it fully across the line!

Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions/referrals!
