   hi there
   need some help asap if poss.
   my car decided yesterday that it didnt want to open when useing the FOB but the fob controles..central locking,alarm and immobiliser so now i cant start the car and when i try and get in the car the alarm keeps going off.
   anyone advise me on what to do with this as i spoke to a auto electrition and he says i need a whole new ECU and alarm but would have to be off citroen as the alarm is a standard fit from factory ?
   any help would be great
   thanks

   my keyfob for my vts has broke the microswitch had come off under the button. i took top bit of case of and where the small microswitch was i brigdef the connections with a paper clip this then unlocked my car and disabled the immobiliser on engine. so i just use my key to drive it and lock drivers door with key whilst keyfob is getting repaired.
