Sounds like its probably the motor or something then, if both keys are acting in the same way?

Sorry, read the first post again. Is it only the boot that won't work with the fob?

Ok, was just thinking there may be something trapped or obstructing the lock / mechanism, but not relevant now  :-\
Is it worth resyncing the fob? At least then you could rule that out?

Have a guess, I'll give you a clue, when you unlock the car and get in it warns you about something.
