Locked Out.

[Richy]

Last couple of times I have parked up my Z, I have come back and it will not open. I play a lot of golf, so open and lock the car on the boot lock a lot. Today it would not open on the door or boot locks, and the remote didn't work either. Eventually got it to open, not sure which frantic push, zap etc worked.

 

Anyone has similar problems ? I will try opening on the remote or door release from now on, assuming it is a problem with the boot lock.

 

Any ideas gratefully received.

Could it be the battery in the remote dying? Ie the car not thinking the key is there?

Not had it myself but just a thought?

key fob battery would be my thought too

As above. Already had to change one of my fob batteries. Cheers to Keyser for the donation

I will start using the second key and see if the problem persists. Not sure how long key batteries last, but car is only 18 months old, and I never use the remote, rather the external lock openers.

 

Thanks for the replies.

I change mine every 12 months myself and even then they can be flaky

 

I assume the key works fine

Could it be that the car realises what your doing... and refuses to put the clubs back in the boot? jk lol

I have enough moans from HID about playing too much golf, without the Z turning on me.
