Remote locking key

Post by Samg » Wed Feb 14, 2018 6:56 pm

My central remote locking key seems to be playing up - sometimes I have to hit it on the roof rails to get it to work??
Just wondering why's it doing this.

Both my X3 keys ended up playing up, sent them to a firm that advertises on EBay and had them replace the microswitches and batteries £20
Now they work flawlessly.
If you only have one key, more a problem, but they return in a couple of days.
