Hi, sort of newby to posting on this forum. I joined some years ago but have only posted once before.
The issues in detail:- Last week suddenly car needed two clicks on the remote to lock/unlock.
This week, wont lock/unlock on remote.
Will lock on centre console button.
Will lock/unlock on drivers door lock with key.
New battery in remote made no difference.
Re synching remote to car makes no difference.
Fuel door locks/ unlocks ok
All fuses good
Hatch release by drivers door doesnt release hatch.
Buttons on hatch and glass do not work
Tried replacing GM3 with known good one made no difference.
Disconnecting car battery and leaving for a few hours before reconnecting made no difference.
The car in all other respects drives fine.

As you can see I have read lots of threads on lots of forums on what might be wrong, trouble is 99% referred to saloons with boot locks, the touring has n't got one.

Need help as going on holiday soon, 4 up with luggage and I really need to be able to open the hatch.
