new to this site so if i've posted in wrong area i do apolagise in advance.

hi i have a Citroen c3 1.4 hdi 2002 plate. the problem i have is central locking. sometimes it works when i have been on a small journey and come back to the car with in 10 mins. i lock it up at night and in the morning when i come to use it it does not work. i have to unlock it by the drivers door. sometimes i get the eco mode message and my battery light on the dash is flashing. i got a new battery a week ago and it is still doing it. when the car is stationary with engine off and i'm waiting for someone there is a clicking in and out noise. it sounds like a relay underneath the passanger side dash. i dont know if this has anything to do with it. if anyone could ghive any explanations for these problems id be very greatful indeed. thank you all

Do you have the original factory fit radio installed?

If not, remove what you do have installed and test the car again.

A new battery won't do anything for 'ECO MODE' if the car starts with the battery you had.
