No hesitation, best price, reasonably soft buttons, almost right internal clips http://carkeyfob.co.uk/index.php?rou...ory&path=20_74

you will prob know this but when your changing all the electronics from one to another make sure you take out the transponder out of the old and put it in the new one ( just a reminder thats all lol )

Why bother? Just fit the old back containing the transponder to the new front half.

Afternoon,
I would agree.
I have bought a key fob from this supplier and I've had no issues.

Because they.......

A usually fit badly

B even if they sort of fit, make the key look shiny on the back, and matte on the front

C it normally causes problems with the location of the PCB, normally leading to the unlock microswitch being permanently pressed in.

Hi Brian.
Quick question please, are old fobs with the PCB boards worth keeping if they are not from your present car, can the PCB boards be re-used for your present car, ie virginised then reprogrammed.

Am holding on to these for no reason or could they come in useful one day

Make sure you try and source genuine Valeo bits.

The Chinese stuff is woeful.

I managed to find some genuine Valeos, and procured a decent amount for myself, and I made a direct comparison to the non genuine ones I thought were rubbish, and the difference was night and day.
