• 98 pug 306 -Programming Remote Locking? 1 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Hi just bought some new batteries for the remote central locking key. The red light illuminates on the key when the lock or unlock button is depressed but remote locking is working (works fine with key in door lock). Does the car need to re-learn the key?
• Ford Focus Remote Central Locking 31 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Press the key fob and nothing happens, but the central locking still works and the indicators flash when I lock car with the key. I had the battery changed at local motor factor shop, but still no joy. Any ideas what it could be ? Do I have to go to the main dealer ? Is this going to be expensive ? :-(
• Daftest way to drain your fuel tank 1 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  The "Daftest way to drain your battery" reminded me of an old aquaintance of mine who went out for a meal, as he pulled up in the car park he saw someone he knew so he got out of the car to say hello, three hours later he went back to the car and it was still idling away quite happily!

• Galaxy/Alhambra bonnet opening crisis 2 May 2005 (Forum)
  I have been babysitting a Seat Alhambra people carrier for 5 months (owners on long holiday). They are coming to collect it this pm but the battery is flat (surprise surprise) and I can't open the bonnet - the release won't work, and I don't want to break the cable by pulling too hard. Any idea how to release it from underneath? Any suggestions gratefully received.....

  Can anyone help please. I took the battery off to recharge locked the doors. Now i can't get the doors open. i have gained entry through the boot but there seems to be some sort of deadlock on them. The bonnet release seems to be connected somehow and that won't open either.

• Focus electronic interference 12 May 2004 (Forum)
  Sometimes experience 'electronic interference' which is again sometimes announced by the red ignition light coming on, then the central locking clicks as well as a small reduction in engine revs. The battery in the key has been replaced and the car is 3 yrs old with 22,000 miles. It has only been happening for approx 3 months and there is nothing else that appears to be wrong . Has anybody got any ideas what this can be or if it will get worse

• Nissan Primera Radio Code 18 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Bought it privately, nice people, everything there except that the radio code they noted from the previous owner is not correct. The problem is that the battery has just been replaced and the radio (Blaupunkt Nissan)is crying out for a code I do not have. Do I have to go to a Nissan dealer or is there a cheaper/quicker/better way? Thanks

  It sounds alternator vicinity ish - is it safe to run with alternator drive belt removed (apart from obvious danger of discharging the battery) for fault finding purposes. If it is alternator bearings which I suspect is this a feasible DIY option? Cheers NormanB

• Omega remote (plip?) 25 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  But sometimes it seems to work from quite a distance. Why? BOTH plips, remember, and one has a nearly new battery. (I presume the receiver is by the driver door somewhere.)

  I have a face off radio which I always remove when leaving the car, so there would be no fear of the battery draining (I hope). Thanks in advance....
