Help. bloody D3s....
As some of you know, the key wasnt being recognised by the car and was suggested that the battery in the fob needs replacing.
Well, due to issues with my leg I have not used my car since Monday and today had to get something from the car. Pressed the door open on the plipper, door unlocks so get what I need. Close the door and press lock on the plipper, nothing. Has the battery gone finally on the remote. Replace the battery with a known working battery and still nothing. Replace the battery in the spare plipper and nothing. Try to lock the door using the key - nope. Puts the spare in the ignition and guess what, car wont start but also the key wont come out........ What to do now

Sussed the key. Little blob on the barrel, push that in and turn the key anti-clockwise (keeping theblob pushed..) then the key pops out.
Looks likd the battery is flat so going to try and trickle charge it.

Uh oh... Sounds very similar to the issues I had in my PF.
Have a good check under the carpets for water ingress as well, I had similar issues with the entry and start system along with the appearance of a flat battery. Hopefully it's just the main battery giving you some gremlins.

Hope its nothing serious, got me paranoid now because my key has been playing up too, and it aint a low battery.
I drove all the way to kent yesterday and on the way back i got the symbol up on the dis to say there was no key present while driving  The wifes key seems to be fine though and i have replaced the key battery in my key twice. Only had the car two months.

Hopefully just a poorly fob for you.
Question, got a solar trickle charger that yoh plug into the cigarette lighter socket. Would this be ok to us in the D3 while its not used for long periods? Also the trickle charger is going down and not up. Can hear the relay click in charger then I here a whiring noise from the car then the relay clicks off. Whats all that then?
