This seems to be a major problem for which i guess Lexus GB will have had plenty of complaints?
There is also some saftey factors involved in this, it wouldn't supprise me if lexus were thinking of diffrent entry/exit mesures for this model
anyway glad you got this sorted out I bet your cousin now has a comprehensive breakdown cover :D

Mmmmmm perhaps Lexus turned up fixed it, Rich got in and now can't get out
:D :D :D
Well, they (it turned out to be the plain old RAC) turned up after two and a half hours. When he put the van in front of the car, everything was fine When he moved the van backwards, bingo, nothing working!
We established when you press the button on the door to lock the car it 'speaks' to the fob (watch the red light blink as you do it) as we were trying to rule out dodgy keys or interference. Gave up after 30 mins after disconnecting battery and back as the car was locking fine.
Went to it this morning and all is fine again, no mobile masts have been built near by as I'd know about it through work, just some intermittent interference. Who knows, will take the car in on Monday to have a once over just in case.
I think interference is becomming worse, since found out my cousin got stranded in Milton Keynes. Paid a breakdown firm £80 to come out, he rolled the car back 10ft and all was fine - 'Happens here all the time mate, that'll be £80'
Good news is been at Legoland with kids all day, knackered and sun burnt but at least I managed to get back into the car
As a rule of thumb, if you have any issues trying to lock the car at anytime, move it to another space and try again. If it struggles to lock, it'll struggle to unlock as I found out.
Thanks for all the answers as well, much appreciated. B)
