Dropping it can do it, Ford used to do it if you left it without power for more than 2 minutes.
www.206info.co.uk/Foru...c+key.html Thers the how to. Try that and see if it works. If not at least it's one thing discounted.

Wouldn't think so. Could be other things causing the problem.
Have you tried re-syncing?
Is the battery definately good (even if new, measure it.)?

Might be a dud.
Was it doing it before change of battery? If so its not that.
Clutching at straws but is your keyfob OK? Try with a mate's keyfob if available (sync it).

Need Peugeot Planet to code a keyfob to a different car
You cant sync a keyfob unless it has already been coded to the car in question BSI unit.

Ah yes. That would make sense otherwise zero security.
Scratch that.

You also need the 4 digit alphanumeric security code before the BSI will even allow any keys / remotes to be coded.
