is it a Foxguard or a Meta?

Hi, dont know, do I have to take the dash off to find out ,,,

If its a Meta system it probably needs resetting. The samething happened to mine. Disconnect the battery and leave for about 10secs. When you reconnect press the key fob at the same time. It can take a couple of attempts but it worked for me.

Kenny ,

My fobs have been a bit squiffy for a while ,Was hoping just the batteries being old and knackered - so seeing as you've just changed yours and I don't have my keys to hand....h opefully you can confirm it's just a simple trip to Maplins or something to replace them , Ie they're nothing special and can be bought at various places?

Yes its an easy replacement one wee screw holding the bob together and a MN21 Duracell battery, hope this helps,,,
