Key fob-temperamental - Is the battery dead

[160SR2006]

My key fob did not work to open the door today, tried spare key, but no luck. Drove away from home, keyfob works. Everytime I get home key fails to work, and when away from home it worked. Any idea if battery is dying in the key, or anybody else had same problem, how much am I looking into to get it fixed, car is out of warranty.

More than likely the battery, mine was acting a bit weird by showing up red when it was in the car etc and the thing just stopped working fully. The batteries are £1.47 for two in tesco and take less than 30 seconds to change.

I'd try changing the battery and seeing if the problems persist, I don't think they will though.
