Default festiva radio code hell.

Im new to this site, so a big, how ya doin! to all, hope someone can help me with this.

Ive actually been for a look thru here, and around online.
anyway,
my problem is, i got a new battery, and when i went to put in my radio code i couldnt.
im getting the whole "code" flashing thing, and have even disconnected and reconnected the battery again and left the Acc on over night in a bid to try and reset it.
but i cant get it to stop flashing, and i certainly cant enter anything into it.

to be honest im pretty sure this is the first battery change too, since it was purchased new.
its a 98 model festiva but only has 42,000 on the clock.

i was told the more times you enter the radio code the longer you gotta wait till it resets, but given that the fact its had maybe 2 new batts. i cant see that would be it.

is there something i should be doing in a different way with a Festiva?

cheers
