Hi Guys, I'm sorry if I have missed post's on this subject but I did look a little way back to check. I am having problems with my central locking the car won't unlock with the key fob.Can only get in if I put key in lock. I then have to move pretty quick to get key in ingnition as alarm (if you can call it that)goes off.Have put new battery's in so thats not the reason and it will let me lock OK with the fob. May now have to talk to dealer hope this is covered under warranty? Is this a common fault? Or is this the car making a protest. We have been talking that he may have to go and he could have heard.

Do both your keys do this? Sometimes the one goes out of sync and then you need to try the other...

No this isn't common. If you have to keys you can try & program the remote back in yourself. Put one key in the ignition & turn it on, leave on & get out the car put other key in the door turn & hold in lock postion & press a button on key. If no sound of beep turn back to 12 o clock in lock & press a button on the key again. If then no beep the remote is faulty & you car covered under warrentee. As I do these remotes all the time this should sort out the problem.

Thanks Guys, Yes I do have two keys and the problem is with them both, but as soon as daylight hits I'm going to try ddkeyprogrammers method. If this don't work I will take it in to the dealer's. Can't complain though this will be it's 1st visit in 18 month of ownership.
