Are there likely other issues at work given how temperamental it is? Is there a central unit that controls the locking that may be faulty or have dry joints?
Resolution for me was to get 2 new fobs coded at Porsche. All now working beautifully.

Finally attempted to solder new switches on my fob today. Not as easy as it looks on YouTube but I managed to get it done. I used a thin strip of masking tape to hold the buttons in place. Instead of using thin wire solder, I just melted a small blob of solder on a piece of cardboard then just grabbed small bits of it and dropped it in place. Not perfect but it works and I now have a perfectly working fob for the first time in 10 years!
