Hi all,
i will set the scene,
bought my current 2003 D2 20 months ago, when i bought it the remote central locking didnt work, having had a 300tdi before that it didnt bother me, however that was only used for shooting at the weekend, this one is my daily drive, so i looked into possible causes, but in the meantime i could lock and unlock via the key, managed to find out it was the receiver in the roof lining, so bought a new one and had it installed, problem solved, a few days ago i went to the shop, locked the door behind me with the fob as usual, thought it cant be battery as the red light was still flashing on the fob, so tried to open it with the key, but id wouldnt work, didnt seem to go in all the way, walked home for the other key and that was the same, had to call AA out, presuming it was the receiver again i dropped the roof lining got the sensor out and have ordered a new one yesterday, so hopefully that will solve it, my question is, what is wrong with my lock, and whats the best way of sorting it out just in case this happens again.
thanks.
