What I don't understand is that they are ex Rover dealers, well regarded, who said it was no problem. These aren't back street fly-by-nights.

If your "new" key is fitted with a new blank transponder then unless they have access to additional equipment then they wouldn't be able to enable it.
T4 can't programme them as it can't access the data file in the immobiliser
They probably thought you just needed the remote coding in.
