Hi another discussion on central locking I'm afraid - none of the others seem to answer my problem.

I’ve got a 53 plate Octavia Elegance.

Neither of my remote key fobs work - they worked fine until a few days ago. I have replaced the battery in one but still no luck.

The central locking and alarm etc. works fine with the manual (drivers door) lock and from inside the car (using the drivers door button).

I've had a superficial look at the fuses but they seem OK (although a more detailed look would not go amiss).

Any ideas?

Other points that may or may not be related:

1. Had to use some brute force to get into the bonnet the other day – seized catch (the issue above started immediately after - but cannot see how they are related).

2. The alarm when you open the drivers door with the lights on seems to have stopped working.

3. I'm not sure if the relay(?) that 'clicks' after 30 seconds or so when you turn off the ignition and just sit on your car is still working (I've not noticed the click for a while).

Thanks

Mark
