   I have remote locking on my 1.1 with the fob, however i believe its ran out of battery. Is there any cheaper way of fixing it rather than taking it to citroen and being charged an arm and a leg?
   
   Any help much appreciated.

   Hi,
   
   Just change the CR 1620 (3V) button cell yourself, then follow the steps in: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=228926

   all you need is a penny to open up, switch the battery and you are good to go

   No you have to take it to citreon mate.... These other people above, know nothing.. Citroen have a special tool that only they own, Which opens your fob like pandoras box.
   
   Then they have specialist Citroen batteries that are sacred in this world we call earth. Its a big job, They will charge you a hefty sum. Make sure you get many quotes. I was charge 295.75 + VAT. Thieves i tell you !
   
   OJ, Just take it to the corner shop init !
