I've noticed that some mornings I have to press the button on the remote control many times before the car will unlock. The problem seems to be worse on cold mornings, but it's hard to be certain that it's temperature related.
The car was going into the OPC this week for something else, so I asked them to take a look at this problem as well. It turns out that there is a "recall item" for exactly this problem. They carried out the recall work and the problem has gone away. I believe it involved changing the control unit on the central locking.
I don't know whether this affects many cars or whether they just had a batch of faulty control units when they built my car in April 2005. But if you're having trouble getting into your car on these colder mornings it might be worth seeing if you are affected by this recall.
