[SOLVED] Remote lock/unlock

Basically had this problem since I bought the TF.. the remote lock only works if I'm quite literally stood right next to the car. I've replaced the battery in the fob and it hasn't made a difference. What other checks can I make to sort this out?

It's rather frustrating walking away from the car, trying to lock it, realising it's not that good and walking back

If you undo the passenger side kick panel (with the light in it.) You will probably see a yellow wire coiled up, this is the aerial. If you straighten it out, it should increase the distance.:yesnod:

Although I had to open the thick loom to find the yellow wire.

Thankyou very much *adds to 'to do' list for tomorrow* as well as oiling up some stiff nuts :dc:

Mmm, stiff nuts, eh?:whistle:

Yeah, trying to remove the engine access panel, looks like it hasn't been moved for a million years, one bolt came out pretty easily, then the next 5 I tried wouldn't even budge.

Will cover them in shotgun oil tomorrow and try again
