Just asking the obvious - have you tried changing the batteries?

You need to unlock it with the remote, then bin it.  If locked with the remote it will not dissable the alarm if  you unlock with the key.

when you lock it with the fob does the indicators flash 4 times or stay on solid for a few seconds?

If it is solid for a few seconds then that is the warning signal to tell you the key fob battery is low. Very clever I think. I had my indicators warning me about the fobs low battery for 7 months but I was starting to get VERY close to the car to unlock it.

Once it has been locked by the fob you HAVE to unlock it with the fob. No sequence with the key will shut it up unlike some cars.

Before you bin the fob I maybe interested in buying it off you or salvaging out a bin :lol: as I only have 1 fob so if I loose mine I'm stuffed. Another fob that even works sometimes would be nice to have as a back up :D

Its not just the case is it, the buttons get indented underneath and then it takes some messing about to get it to work, you can buy replacement cases from e bay?
