the receivers are never that great so chances are you just have a poor one some aftermarket remotes have greater range

 

thanks mate
like this one do you mean?

yes that sort of one

 

Doesn't that just give you a new key and use the existing car receiver Steve ?

Mine isn't brilliant, but I don't fancy the agro of fitting an aftermarket receiver

 

its the key that has poor transmitting power not the receiver, as I have upgraded keys before and found range improved massive

 

Ah right, now I get you, cheers Steve
