Key fob neither opens or locks car at present it's been faulty for quite awile now doors willl lock/unlock with key in drivers door car starts ok with key but you have to be quick to start up or alarm will go off. Iv'e been advised to do a re-boot after every thing goes to sleep

I doubt if a re-boot will fix this but you can try re-synchronising the remote key .If you have 2 keys,this can be done by putting 1 key in steering lock and turn to ignition position;close the doors and put non working remote key into door barrel and turn to fully lock position at the same time press one of the remote buttons.Worth a try.hth
