Hi everybody,

For the last couple of months my central locking key has been playíng up, I have had to press the button 10-20 times before it would lock or unlock the car. Now it doesn't work at all. The central locking still works when I use it in the door

My other problem is that I have recently moved to another country and the user manual is in another language so i can't understand it.

Can someone give me a check list of things to go through so I don't have to pay the garage to do it.

Please remember that my manual is in another language so it is difficult to know what fuse it what etc. Their are 30 fuses. The light on the key still light a bit when I press it.

Many thanks.
Richi

Have you checked the batteries in the remote?

When the problem first started happening I took the car to the garage and asked wether I needed a new battery, the bloke tested the key and as it worked after 2-3 clicks the guy said no. He said that it happens to all cars. :-0

I am going to buy one now anyway just to eliminate it as a problem. Do I have to do anything special after changing the battery?

According to my instruction book:
Unlock car, take remote away from car.
Remove battery and wait 5 minutes. Fit new battery taking care not to touch surfaces. Take back to car and test.
