Locked out - ghost in the machine

Had a strange one the other day

Got back to the car & it wouldn't open with the key fob :grumpy:

Tried to lock, unlock, tried the boot, nothing :? like the fob was decoded or something

So I popped the cover off the door handle and locked & unlocked it a few times manually with the key without opening the door
(when the salesman unlocked it this way at the handover the alarm went off when he opened the door!)

Then I tried the key fob again and it worked perfectly, hasn't done it again so hopefully it was a one off

Very strange :?

Zephyr had that one a while back in Oct/Nov.

Possibly the fob losing synchronisation. In the handbook 3.1 Controls and Equipment, page 45 - Synchronising the remote control key. (Newer / older handbooks than 13.03.09 issue may be page different.

Yeah, RW1 is right. That's exactly what happened to mine. I even tried the spare key fob but that didn't work either.
It's not done it again since. (fingers crossed)
