How far from car to unlock?
How far can you be from your car to lock / unlock it? I seem to have to be within less than a meter with my fob. Is that right?

A few other cars ive tried (Not a ZS) I can unlock from at least 5 - 10 meters.

How much drama is it to get a new fob and key? I only have one but could do with 2? Any help would be great!!

Must be a MGR thing, cos all of my Rover 214's always needed you be within 5 feet, adn the Zed is no different. Must be a reason for it, the Transit I drive at work you can unlock from over 20 feet away, handy when we have 5 identical vans!!!

Don't they have different registrations - you should be able to read it at 67ft with 3.5" high letters!

Obviously they should be different letters, but it sounds like you are saying they are a different format?
