Default New Key.

Hi all.

On my key fob the wee button for unlocking has holed and has now broken away altogether (can see the wee pin underneath) still works though.

Now can i just replace the black plastic body and swap the internals over...or is it a new key ?

Yup - I literally did this job on mine today except it was the locking button.
Two minute job to swap over to a new fob.

Update...took my key and separated the body and removed the circuit board, now the damaged part, that is the side where the lock/unlock buttons are is the side with the 'key' moulded into it, any idea how to remove the key blade or is there a 'patch' you can insert to cover the hole.

Been looking on E-Bay and found several key fobs/shells so that's not an issue, just how to remove the key blade from the damaged half of the fob.

Grip the blade with some pliers (wrap a rag round the blade first)
A sharp tug should release the blade

I tell you what Graham, post it to me and I shall refurbish it completely free of charge.

For some reason I seem to have a lot of new key cases
