Well done cook! I was only half paying attention when I read you're original post but it actually did seem believable. I wonder if anybody will own up to trying it!

This cock owns up! But it seems to have worked! My other leg is now available to be yanked!

Didn't try changing battery as car brand new! But of course, don't know how old the remote battery is!

Battery is coin sized CR2032 approx £2.00 if bought singly.

McLaren owner worried about battery cost!

I've just had both keys replaced under warranty for the same "key not found" issue. Car is 9 months old. Battery replacement made no difference.

watched a smoking tire video on youtube. matt farah was driving a gt with less than 700 miles on it that suffered the same issue.
interesting conceptfor a car that makes a lot of sense to me .

Audi R8 has this

The last sports car I owned before the Maserati also had it.

It was a 1970's Fiat 850 Coupe.

Seems like we need to keep some spare batteries in the glovebox at the very least. I don't want to be stranded up an Alp for such a stupid reason.

Sounds like McLaren needs to pull their f**king fingers out of their arses and fix the issue!

The market wouldn't accept this on a £15k Kia, let alone a £150k supercar.

True, but meanwhile I'm thinking of practicalities.
