Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Final problem of the day today, my key fob battery is draining dead within a week of replacement. it works fine when a new batteries fitted but within a week the red light no longer lights up and the remote locking doesn't work, anyone know the cause of this and can it be repaired or am I looking at buying a new fob from my local dealer? cheers chris

POST 2Original post

It can only be the fob . A replacement , although expensive is warrented .

POST 3Original post

Hi Thom, I always post this but they worked wonders on my faulty fob. Give them a ring and tell them your symptoms. If the programmed part of the key is ok, which yours seems to be, they can refurb all the other elements. They done mine (as the key died altogether), fitted a new battery and cover and it came to £50. Better than £200 from main dealer. [/quote]
