Hey all, I have spent ages trying to find out a solution for this and posted some questions on here in other topics that might not be the right place.
When I push the key fob button (two button type) sometimes my central locking kicks in and other times it doesn't. I have tried different locations, distances etc but it seems really random. Sometimes I can spend AGES trying to unlock or lock the doors and have to use the key in the door.
I have found some places on line that will repair the key but am not sure if it could be the sensor in the car, does anyone know how i would test and has anyone used these repair places and had any issues?

Well this can be caused by 2 reasons,maybe a faulty remote control (transmitter),or the receiver antenna fixed around the ignition barrel.

Cheers for the reply, any idea on how to test which one it is? I don't want to send the key away to be fixed if it doesn't have an issue

if the antenna is faulty,that will appear in diagnostic using pp2000,but about the key,it can be checked in a locksmith store,as they have gadgets that check the signal when you press on the key buttons.

Ye the locksmith said "Oh the main dealers took all that kind of work from us" and suggested I go to peugeot, but i was going to see if i can try a few other locksmiths first. There is one that specialises in cars.
