Someone in my office reminded me today of the trick Clarkson tried on Top Gear many moons ago where he could activate the central locking on his R230 SL from very long range by operating the fob against the side of his head. Needless to say it actually worked [at a range of 150m on the 2nd...

Well, pushed the button to open my car and "nothing." Couldn't unlock the car! It did eventually open though so off I went on my journey. Locked it again at other end, then when leaving, couldn't get in for ages. It just would not work. I presume it is the battery..... So now my car is...
