My keyfob and spare normal key has very short range to unlock/lock vehicle. i must be within 2m from car to work.

Already replaced both battery's

There is nothing in terms of an aerial there could be other interference causing the issue.

I know on the Meriva there was an aerial used to extend the range but on the Astra they used a different set of component's where by you can't.
Astra-J 2.0 CDTI S/S
Retrofitted AFL, TPMS, Navi950, BT, DAB, Rear Camera, Infinity sound system, Towbar, Flexfloor & more.
I can do programming and retrofits using genuine GM MDI and Dealer software.

Could be a blessing in disguise, a couple of times I found the car unlocked in the morning (know I locked it previous night), when I accidentally pressed the key in my pocket in the house, once with front windows half rolled down.

I now put the key in safe place in house when I get home.
