Send me your details and if possible a photo showing the type of connections as there are two.
I don't think its a battery pack so much as a relay/interface to link all 4 doors, but worth a try. You should be able to access it by removing the insert at the rear of the centre console.

They think it's all over, it is now!

Will do, I got sidetracked to help with the housework today so it will have to wait now till next weekend, avoids the possibility of getting whacked round the lug with a frying pan although I would rather work on the car. I’ll remove the consul and take some photos and see what happens, the Haynes manual gives a reference for a battery replacement as V13GA its on page 13.13 section 24
Thanks

Hi H Reg and all,
I had similar symptoms with my remote "Plip", bought new batteries and all the above, and it still got worse. With a bit of cunning I prised the plastic cover from the front of the remote and I was amazed at the ammount old "pocket fluff" that had accumulated over the years. I cleaned it up and it is now as good as new. Works 3 ft from the car. I wonder how many "Plips" have been launched into the bushes in fustration?
Good luck,
Nick

Just took my one and only plip to bits to give it a clean and the push button switch fell to bits, managed to put it back together but plip doesn't work at all now. Can anyone tell me how much a new one costs and where I would get one also would it pay to replace the receiver and if so whats this likely to cost, Our local Citroen dealer closed this year so cant ask in there anymore.
