    You say, "You've changed the battery..."
    The fob battery? You may have a programming problem with the fob but you need to find out why it won't work from the door.
    Check all the actual lock/unlock functions to be sure a lock actuator isn't causing problems. And check to make certain all the vehicle's fuses are good.
    Your local dealer or a shop experienced with automotive electrical systems should be your next stop.

    I am guessing you are in the UK, take it to Halfords, they can check stuff for nothing. However, they will try and sell you the part required.
