My remote locking key fob only unlocks the two back doors it dose however lock all the doors Also the interior lock dose not lock or unlock the two front doors,
It’s on a 2004 75 CDTI saloon connoisseur can anyone advise how to fix the issue.

Did you transfer the little transponder chip over?

Yep, immobiliser chip.

The transponder chip is the only thing that would effect ignition/starting if all was well before.
Are you sure you didn't damage it in any way when you swapped it over?

You may have a door actuator issue (on more than one door).

The first thing I would do though is a battery reset:
Just disconnect a battery terminal & leave disconnected for around an hour, then re-connect.
Make sure you have your key with you, not left in the car when you re-connect.
If you have a Hi-Line head unit (original satnav & tv) or a aftermarket head unit, you won't need a radio code, otherwise make sure you have that to hand before disconnecting. (also be aware that if you have original Hi-Line, there is a shutdown procedure before disconnecting).

Hi thanks for the info. I put all items back into the old fob and they work. I need to get the old fob refurbished new buttons, I dont want to go on and on trying different things and wasting time and money +also i would need to get the new fob blank cut into a new key.
