Finally got round to sorting this out and I now have remote locking/unlocking 
If it helps anyone else, what I did was to remove the module, which is mounted on to the right of the glovebox (also took glovebox out).
There are four wires we need, Battery, Earth, Lock and Unlock. Tap into Battery (white/blue) and Earth (black).
Cut the blue/red and brown/yellow wires (remember to leave enough to be able to connect to them). Normally the blue/red is Lock and brown/yellow is Unlock; to be sure if you apply an earth to either wire, it should lock/unlock the vehicle.
The next bit depends on how the controller is wired; the one I bough had, franky, shite instructions and I started from scratch.
Connect the battery and earth wires to the red and black wires on the locking module and plug it in.
If you can hear the relay clicking when you press the button then the module is working.
Next step is to determine which wires are activated by the controller.
For this bit you really need a multimeter (£5-10 from maplins or suchlike).
Set the meter to the highest resistance scale, usually 10m, and tap the leads together. if the needle wangs all the way over, you're set.
With everything connected and the meter probes in the back of the connector, check which wires get temporarily connected when you press the buttons. This can take a while but stick with it.
Make a note of which ones do what.
Unplug the connector.
On the one I bought, it connected yellow to white when you press lock and yellow/black to white/black when you press unlock.
I therefore ended up with :
Lock - Yellow to White
Unlock - Yellow/Black to White/Black
Take one wire from each pair (I took Yellow and Yellow/Black) and connect them both to earth.
Take the other wire from each pair to it's respective wire on the controller, in my case that was White to blue/red for lock and White/Black to brown/yellow for unlock.
Plug the connector back in and you should be good to go.
