I've got the same model Patrol and never had an issue. I bought it new and haven't changed the batterier in either fob. Have you tried the second fob?

I gave up on my fob years ago. Replaced batteries, helped for a bit, then problems again. I just use the key. No biggy for me. Couldnt be stuffed working through the fob issues. Probably a chinese accessory.

I had similar issues. I just replaced the receiver unit with an after market one which was like night and day. Cost about an hour or two and whatever the unit itself was worth.
I remember reading someone on here re-did or added earth straps between body and chassis chasing another issue and they noticed it improved the central locking as a side benefit.. Maybe it was @Cremulator .. But I can't remember

Replace it with a Jaycar remote circuit. Cheap and easy to do. There is a thread on here that explains how to do it.

Yes, it was me. I added an underbody earth strap for my sub tank issues and it improved the range that the factory central locking worked from, but it was short lived. It's gone back to working from close range only again.

This is the thread I was thinking of. It has lots of information. I used the Jaycar module and it works fine - every time!
