It might be. It's more likely to be the contacts inside the remote.

I can dismantle the Xsara and C5 remote, as if I'm replacing the battery, and clean the circuit board. I don't know whether that's possible with yours though.

Be careful cleaning the springy rubber bit though as it's possible to "clean" the conductive layer off by mistake - just dab it with a cloth.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

Appears that the button was pushed a bit hard as had broken the solder connections, so time to dig out the fine tips tomorrow and fix it!!
Thanks for the tips!
