Default Erractic Remote Central Locking Operation.

A couple of days ago at the start of the cold snap here in the UK I decided to play safe and leave the motorcycle at home and take the S60 on the work commute.

I was unable to open the car via the primary keyfob remote, I then tried the emergency spare and same symptons no keyfob operation on locks either doors or boot.

Locks were not frozen and when I manually open car with key on drivers door it turned easily and all other doors unlocked with it, the alarm also triggered when I put my arm in to insert key into ignition. Car also started ok and car battery turned engine over ok.

Voltage checked on the CR2032 batteries in both remotes and they were looking good at 3.1V each.

Later in the day keyfobs worked and then 5 minutes later stopped again.

Since then ie this morning with -4 C temps no problems at all so it would appear to take temp related issue out of the equation.

So question is where is the issue likely to reside, is there a history of other S60`s / V70`s exhibiting the same problem.
