A case of use it or lose it I think. Try a bit of lub in the lock, chain lub would be better than WD40 but anything is better than nothing.  :y :y

It's handy to know that if for any reason your car battery goes completely flat, that you can get into you car with a key rather than having to maul about connecting 12volts to the car somewhere so you can use the fob. Especially with a facelift car with no option to crawl through the boot.  :) :y
