would be most grateful if anyone could offer some help.....

just disconnected the battery to change my steering wheel....all good

until i reconnected battery..everything works ok..bu now can not lock the car with my key fob..light flashes on the fob
plus the battery was changed on the fob last month..so not that..

any ideas anyone....cheers...

Walk away and try later

Use key in lock (yes, novel ) and start car as normal, fob should synchronise?) (Alarm might go off until you put key in ignition?)

Disconnect the battery again, leave for at least ten minutes .

No joy....yet it unlocks the tailgate..... ....trip to the stealers is in order now....gonna turn a relatively cheap steering wheel into an expensive one...

even tried this method of another forum.....

Reset Procedure for your key fobs
Every signal from the remote handset contains the transmitter identification code and a rolling code. The BCU checks
the codes and only responds if the signal is from a valid transmitter. During vehicle production, the remote handsets
supplied with the vehicle are initialised to set their individual transmitter identification codes and synchronise their
respective rolling codes with the BCU. If a transmitter loses synchronisation with the BCU, or if a replacement or
additional remote handset is to be used with the vehicle, the initialisation procedure must be repeated. During the
procedure, all remote handsets for use with the vehicle must be initialised.
Initialisation Procedure
1 Ensure the vehicle is unlocked and the driver and front passenger doors are closed.
2 Install a key/remote handset in the ignition switch, then turn the ignition switch to position I and back to position
0 in less than 5 seconds to put the BCU into the initialisation mode. Continue the procedure within 30 seconds
of turning the ignition switch to position 0.
3 Remove the key/remote handset from the ignition switch.
4 Press and hold the unlock button for a maximum of 15 seconds. During this time, momentarily press the lock
button three times within 10 seconds.
5 Release both buttons.
6 Successful initialisation is indicated by the BCU locking then unlocking the vehicle. If this does not occur, repeat
step 4.
7 Repeat steps 4 and 5 with all other remote handsets belonging to the vehicle (4 maximum). Begin the
initialisation of each remote handset within 30 seconds of completing the previous initialisation, or the BCU will
drop out of the initialisation mode and the complete procedure will have to be started again


Still no joy....

Took me a good few tries to get the sequence above to work.. If it fails, sounds like u might need a new key..I got a furnished one from a place that repair car keys only. €80.

must have tried about 10 times already..... might just go the pub instead....

Will probably work tomo

i wont after a head full of guiness.....mmmm
