Sold - D4 HSE (Known as Gerty)
No longer the Old Buses original owner 
231,000 miles and counting
05 S manual owned from March 2005
D4 Face lifted
Still original injectors and turbo
V8 Front brakes
BAS Remap, Allisport Intercooler and deCat
EGRs blanked
T-Max split charge
Hanibal Expeedition rack
Prospeed ladder
Duratrac tyres

Had this occasionally and solved it by using a premium brand battery (Duracell) with a long shelf life.
For some reason my fobs didn't like a cheaper battery

Thanks. They are new Energizer batteries but i'll go and try Duracell. You never know, LR are sensitive things around anything electronic.  New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

Were they Energizers or "Energizers". A lot of fake batteries around.
Buy from a reputable source, not just the cheapest on eBay or Amazon.
If buying on Amazon make sure they are sold by Amazon themselves not a 3rd party, even if Prime delivery available. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

Good shout. They came from an Amazon reseller. I'll buy some Duracell from B&Q later.  New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

Strange that you mention Energizer batteries Moo, was only reading elsewhere a couple of days ago of someone having issues that after fitting new Energizer’s that the low battery would not clear.
