Hi, I bought a Citroen Xsara last Friday...

Only problem is the central locking key fob doesn't work, you have to lock/unlock the car by using the key in the door. I've looked at a few different forums on how to re-program the fob but non of them seem to do the trick and I havent got a clue how to change the battery as there doesnt seem to be anyway of knowing how to open it.

I've rang Citroen and they told me it would be £50 for them to re-program it and £150 for a new key fob, but for something that only takes a few seconds I'd rather see if I can do it myself.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks :)

I've had a Xsara for a few months now and what you've been quoted seems to be the going rate. Apparently you need to prise the thing open with a thin blade (stanley knife?) to change the battery.
Though before you do, have a look here:

I wouldnt want to be responsible for you breaking your key, so maybe ask the question there before doing anything drastic.
