Wierd Central Locking Problem
Hi,
Recently my central locking has started playing up. I cannot lock the car using the keyfob unless I open and close the door up to 10 times!
Sounds wierd but basically after a journey I switch off, get out of the car, close the door, press the lock button and nothing happens. So I open the door briefly, close it again and press the central locking button again. I have to repeat this process up 10 times in some cases until it locks. Very occasionally it will lock first time. I have no issue opening the car using the keyfob, just locking it.
I changed the battery when it started hapenning as I thought this was the most likely cause but it's made no difference.
Could it be a faulty keyfob or something more serious? I daren't take it to the dealer as it could be expensive!
Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I have changed the battery believe it or not but I'm going to try a new keyfob instead and see if that makes a difference.
The reason my number plate is blocking the radiator is because it was either there, in the centre or at the other side...
