Strange behaviour with the D3 this morning

Went out to unlock the D3 this morning and no response from the remote, pressed lock and unlock a couple of times and the drivers door unlocked, opened the door and it started binging and said key in ignition... But it was still in my hand!...

So put the key in and turned it on, started up fine & it's been fine since Whistle

Any thoughts guys?

Yeah I thought that... I'll check voltage later, the battery looks to be the original so 7 years old now...

It was about 2 degrees this morning and the aux heater came on too so maybe this is a sign of worse to come...

Any recommendation for a replacement battery? I noticed eurocarparts have an upto 50% off deal at the mo... Might have a look at their current battery prices

Sticky flap in the end of the ignition barrel, or a faulty barrel Thumbs Up

If it thinks the key is still in, it won't lock the car (for obvious reasons) Thumbs Up

Have cured a few by spraying a very small amount of brake cleaner into the end of the barrel and working the key in and out
