Put the remote against your head and then activate it. It increases the range by some distance....

When you do this you have to be looking at the vehicle... dont ask me how it works.
The range on my cheap ebay central locking was crap, so i followed this trick and it worked out great.
(Just make sure you dont get too enthusiastic with the soldering because the antenna module generally wont take heat for too long.)

If it's the same as on the tdci's all you gotta do is to extend the orange wire from the alarm ecu. I've never bothered looking to see if it's in the same place on mine as it is on the tdci landys but if it is it'll be behind the dash on the drivers side.

I've just checked. TD5's do use the same lucas10as alarm so it will be the orange wire that needs extending. All you gotta do is locate it.

Any ideas on how much to extend it by? Inches or feet?

on the tdci the wire terminates at the bottom of the screen. Extending it up the screen pillar (about a foot or so) will give a range of 25m
