Hi, I have had various problems with my xsara, the latest is it won't start, when you turn the key it just makes a clicking noise eventualy it starts after about 5 mins, my key fob is not working I am using the spare key, how do I re-set the key fob I have bought a new battery mine is the fob with open & close buttons & a button to open the boot, also how do I check my engine compresions, although on tick over engine runs ok just below 1000rpm. Thanks

Check all battery and earth connections . Also wiring / connections at starter and solenoid .Check engine with a compression gauge . This should help with key fob .
