    Apologies if this has been asked, cant find similiar.

    Yesterday notice that the key fob was not working properly and after a few presses stopped operating the RCL completely, I assumed it was the battery so changed that. tried to reprogram it but nothing happening. then today I notice that it will function when key is placed very close to ignition. Is this a battery issue still, or is the key or the receiver screwed?

    Im a bit ignorant in these matters, does it sound like a big job? or something simple? car starts fine.

    Any help appreciated

    Key in ignition, ignition to 0n, press lock button for 10 secs. it seems to be a really weak signal as it only works when up close to the ignition barrel. either the key or the receiver. how do I find out which though?

    Try this procedure and see how it goes.
    (Note...do this at your own risk)

    Part 1
    Lift Bonnet and prop up, open drivers window and leave open
    Put Key in ignition and turn on ignition.
    Turn off ignition and take key out whilst outside (through open drivers window)
    Wait until mileage display goes out - Wait another 2 minutes
    Disconnect positive on main battery (Bonnet is open!)
    Wait 5 minutes
    Re-connect main battery (Leave bonnet up)
    Turn sidelights on then off from outside of car through drivers window that had been left open. Do not open door.

    Part 2
    Put key in ignition and turn ignition on, press lock button for 20 secs
    Turn ignition off and remove key
    Remote lock and remote alarm now work

    Repeat Part 2 for second fob

    Cool. I'll give that a go. Cheers.
