02 zs 180 so bought it and the battery was wank so I wasn't using it for a little while but eventually got round to fitting a new battery but it won't start or crank I have a red led on dash now when I bought it and there was life in the battery I had to turn the key then click once on the fob and then the car could be started. But now the alarm goes off and it won't crank help me out the neighbours are funny buggers what's going on and what do I need to do

I imagine you have squareish fob with 2 buttons? If so that is Lucas alarm system. Each time you disconnect car battery you need to re-syncronise fobs back with the car.
Press 4-5 times unlock button while you are within the car and the fob should resync with the car and you should be able to start the car.

If the alarm system is changed from originaly factory fitted to aftermartekt one, then, unfortunately I cannot help,as,I am not familiar with what alarm system is fitted and how it interact with the car electrics.
More to this, if aftermarket alarm system is fitted, then visit to car electrics garage could be the only way to go.
