Yeah I wondered that dublet - I've put 2 in my bag so I can do it tomorrow while at work! Would be a nice simple fix - I swear I've changed the battery fob so many times already since owning this car...maybe it just feels like it. Didn't think that would stop the unlock/lock button inside the car from working though? Guess what I found on the car today whilst I was resetting the clock - a temp gauge ... I've owned gen 7 Celicas for 3 years - how did I not know that was there?!!

Think I explained that wrong ams - when I use the fob to unlock the car there is a couple of second hesitation before it unlocks - yet the lock button is instant. When inside the car the button in the centre console that unlocks/locks will lock the car but not unlock it. So I have to either manually unlock the car using the door lock/unlock button which is on the door release (for want of a better word!) or I have to push the unlock button on my fob. No doors/boot are showing as open.

Update been out: put in £50 worth of 97ron petrol, already had a 1/4 tank but was worried it may have degraded a bit so added some of that Wyanns (same as Red-Ex) petrol additive. Nice to drive - soooooo quiet compared to the MX-5!! Kept forgetting I wasn't driving an automatic which was amusing and annoyingly the wipes/indicators are on opposite sides so there was lots of indicating with the wipers! 14 miles and I seem to have remembered (!) how to drive it - drove around for about 25miles all in. Only problem I have is the central locking is being a bit funny. Very slow to unlock - but does do it with the key. when in the car the button to lock/unlock will lock the doors - but it won't unlock them - just gave the doors a quick squirt with WD-40 but haven't had the chance to investigate further as it's dark and STILL raining. Anyway, feels very solid and refined to drive, did put a smile on my face but did feel a tad slow compared to the mx-5
