MGF remote central locking - stopped working!

Hello!

When I tried opening my 2000 MGF yesterday, I was unable to do so. Nothing happened when I pressed the button on the key fob.

I immediately assumed that the battery on the key fob had gone flat. I replaced it, but still nothing happened.

I looked inside the car, and could see that the red light was still flashing on the radio, so I assume the car battery isn't dead.

Does anyone have any idea what's the likeliest cause of this problem?

And is there any procedure for opening the car with the key - without the alarm going off and without it being immobilised?

Thanks very much,
Andrew

I'm having the same problem.

I can lock the door using the remote but I can't unlock it. I tried resetting the fob as instructed above but no joy - I can still lock it but not unlock it.

I had the fob tested in a car shop and both the buttons were working.

Any ideas?

I've got a 98 (R Reg) MGF VVC.

Thanks

Chris
