Well I got a full box of them - brand new and a decent brand (Energizer)- got loads of date 2013.I changed mine when I got the motor in Sept last year and they are still OK
Duff batteries maybe ?, expiry date ok ?
You really must stop buying accessories for your rangie in the pound shop !
YESDaft question time - you are putting in 2 batteries, aren't you ? ( just checking !)
Are you getting a "remote batteries low" message on the dash ?
Have you resynchronised the remote after changing batteries ?
YES
YES
YES- otherwise I think I would be able to drive it!

Silly question but are just getting a battery low warning on the dash or are the batteries indeed low i.e you need to stand really close to get the doors to un-lock?
with mine i changed both sets in june and sometimes i need to be up close othertimes they will fire the doors from inside the house - all dependent on "the prevailing wind"
Are the buttons on the key fob still ok if they are worn it is possible that they are staying down in your pocket therefore running the button down quicker! You can get replacement button kits for these on e-bay: Find Range Rover GENUINE LAND ROVER P38 Remote Button Pad. on eBay within, Range Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 20-Nov-07 11:59:11 GMT)
I could live with just the message appearing but the batteries are not exactly cheap to replace every 2-4 weeks.Could be an internal fob problem but the fob is only powered up when the buttons (Switches) are depressed-indicated by the red light. Any fault message is annoying but if the fob is doing it's job you could live with it. Never heard of a repair to them and a new fob will set you back over £100 +VAT
