Remote FOB issue-Please HELP!!!

[lucas1787]

Hi,I have a Sreg 1.8i S40 and all of a sudden the remote(two button type)alarm fob wont work.I have tried my spare and with new batteries,but still no joy.Luckly I drove home from work and went to lock it using the fob and it didnt,so have to use the key now.The car starts and drives as the alarm wasnt activated.I cant seem to find anything to point to this problem,has anyone had this problem and can a simple fix cure it,like a fuse blown or will it need re-coding at the garage?.I did also try taking the car up the road,as I had read something could jam the signal,but still no joy.Thanks in advance.Dave

it states in the manual that repeatedly pressing the fob buttons can cause this problem,just a thought

I have heard of that,but the strange thing is, is why is just packed up??
