Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried what you said but it still doesn't work. I have a 1993 XM 2L Petrol manual RP 5980. I heard it's a 1.5 model? All I know is that the climate control is digital compared to series 1. I'm still using the keys but I'd rather use the remote control as parts are difficult to get here in Mauritius and I would love to spare wearing out my keys and locks. Any resetting clue most welcome please. And yes, dreams can be nightmares...but I dream that nightmares will be over one day! Cheers
