hi Declan. thank you so much for your reply. really appreciate you taking time to respond. both key fobs don't go flat at the same time, but if you use the other key fob it goes flat after a week or two. in answer to your questions, 1. the fobs work perfectly once i change the batteries until after a week or two they go flat again. 2. no other electrical issues at all. 3. the doors open fine when we use the switches on the driver/passenger doors. my husband bought a vcds tool and it shows no faults at all. we only found out about the hidden door lock when we searched you tube for some answers. my husband will check the wiring on the door and see if he can see anything. if not we will invest in a new fob and see if that works for us. we love the car and plan on keeping it for a while, so maybe a new fob will work out as cheap as constantly buying the replacement batteries. as you can imagine it is frustrating to be paying out a few pound every week or two and getting nowhere with solving the problem. if we find a solution i will definitely post it on here to help others.

hi all, not sure if you can help but, my both key fobs drain the batteries very quickly, usually within a week or two. the fobs work for a short time and then they won't open the doors, the fob will lock the doors and open the boot, but not the doors. we have bought a few different make batteries, from duracel to panasonic and ones we bought from local car part retailer. this is very frustrating as we have to constantly carry a load of spare batteries with us. thanks in advance for any help.
