Vauxhall Astra - Vauxhall Astra key fob will not work. - lilalfie

Car will not lock/unlock via key fob itself. I actually have to use the key. Can anyone help please.

Do not want to fork out for a new key. Many Thanks.

Check the red led in the key works.If it does,then the system may need a re-sync.Close all doors,turn on ignition,and press one button on the fob.
