My remote has always been weak and even after changing batteries its the same , you got to be really close for it to work. Is there anyway to fix this ?

if you remove the blue interior light and replace it with a white one the central locking should work loads better . HTH nogarors4 thumb

There is a mod to fix this too. Or rather extend the range of the system.

There is a wire that hangs down in the rear bumper area that is infact the aerial for the remote key.

Extend this aerial by grabbing some wire from Halfrauds or maplin and extending it behind the rear bumper.
