Check state of fob battery holder, and its microswitches.

He meant the battery holder, the contact pin can break or pulls away from the PCB, can also happen on the switches.

You will need to have the car programmed to it. Loose battery holders are very common, and are a few seconds work for anyone competent with a small soldering iron.

A complete new fob isn't particularly expensive, and being a common Vauxhall part will be available locally.
