i have recently bought a mk3 gl golf with a clifford alarm.but when i press unlcok on the remote,the car sometimes fails to respond(from 1m which is usually fine),and also when it does respond,the car if very slow to open.
so i have two questions;

would replacing the batteries in the remote work?and if so,would it be a straight swap for the battery?or would i have to reprogram the remote to the car?


or could it be due to the car possibly having a low battery which could be possible as it has had SORN for a month or two and may not have be at full working order even though all other functions work ok.


i realise this could make absolutely no sense at all, and if so,i appolagise,as this was written quite fast.
