Hi, recently my key fob has become reluctant to lock and unlock the car, you have to either wave it around everywhere or hold almost against the car for it to work, the batteries are almost brand new so I'm a bit lost.

Also, when you unlock from the fob, not with the key, the drivers door makes a really loud noise which i assume is the solenoid?

Finally, when locked, the indicators can sometimes randomly flash, is that normal? Many thanks in advance.

Does it do this everywhere or just in a certain place have you tried close to the rear drivers side window where the arial is

Seems to work better the nearer it is to the aerial, if its not the batteries I take it it could be the fob or the aerial? Cheers guys.

I needed to check whether its the updated version anyway so I'll replace it and see how it goes, where's the best place to get one do you reckon? Cheers

Just to update the thread, my rf receiver is the second version so therefore I will need to replace it at some point in the future, the connections looked ok, didn't get chance to remove the c pillar trim to look at the aerial, does anyone know what it consists of? Cheers.
