Over 70 views but no suggestions :( Can no one help with this?

Hello All. Got a strange one here. I can lock my car with the remote key fob but not open it. When the battery went before it wouldn't work either way but this one is new to me. Could it be the cold frost I experienced when I stayed overnight in Bristol? (minus 7!) Thanks

Hi All. So i'm deciding whether to give up the Astra i've been given as a fully expensed company car (as it's too uncomfortable) and go for an Octavia (which I used to have in my previous job and I found to be very comfortable). Thing is, I have an allowance given by my company of 250 pm so i'm limited in how much I can pay for an octavia:( I reckon on £8000 over a 4 year period wouold be okay, but seeing as how i'll be doing 30,000 miles a year, it needs to be able to do 120,000 not including whatever mileage it already has on it! So, am I on a fools errand or would an Octavia be able to do about 170,000 miles (that's working on the assumption that I can find one with under 50,000 miles on it). another things to take into consideration is that i'd prefer it to be a Diesel model, preferably the 1.9. Any suggestions??

but having driven the car my new employers have given me (an Astra) I want my octavia back! That's not an option but i'm thinking of taking up my new employers up on the monthly cash allowance instread of the lease car. I cannot belive how uncomfortable this Astra is! it's sounds sooooooo cheap and nasty and that's with 500 miles on the clock!!
