Vauxhall Corsa central locking ignition problem

Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Variant: 1.4 diesel
Model Year: 2007
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi hope someone can help?
key fob not working i have replaced battery as described in handbook and have tried re-sync again as described in handbook and also by info found on web. neither of which have worked.
sometimes when i try to start vehicle nothing happens when i try and start with key so i have to remove and start again then engine starts?
sometimes spanner warning light comes on intermittent as i can go days when no warning lights come on.
i can lock the doors by pressing the central lock button inside of car and then manually locking drivers door.
any ideas?

Check your battery is making good contact in the remote ,check all fuses are ok.

Hi thanks for replying.
I have checked the majority of fuses both engine and glove compartment all seem fine.
I replaced battery in fob i checked position of "+" and new battery was put into same position i have slightly tried to raise battery connections so should be in good contact but key fob just will not work.
any other ideas.

Normally would check the remote with a reciver unit,you would probably get your garage to check it.If that,s okay then would be looking at the reciver on the vehicle power earth to unit and possibly substituting unit.

Most likely to be a problem with the chip in the key. May be slightly loose...
