   Just put a battery in my central locking fob and tried to re-pair with no joy at all? The central locking work like a charm with the key.. anyone know if the receiver is fused?
   
   Cheers

   Try this from the handbook
   
   1. Unlock the vehicle using the Key.
   
   2. Press the LOCK button twice within 20 seconds of unlocking the vehicle

   mine has done the same, tired re-coding it but not joy.
   
   Don't really want to pay £125 for a new fob.

   Jesus crapping crimbo £125 for a new fob
   
   Fuck that for a game, what if it turns out not to be the fob and something in the motor?
   
   Surely it must have a receiver somewhere that accepts the code and opens the doors, maybe that is fused and it's popped.... maybe?
   
   Anyone got a manual? My one got 'lost' in the Christmas post allegedly

   If the fob is fubar then the cheapest option to keep remote locking is a Hawk box.
