inner bits appear ok, just outer buttons failing as usual.

Thats because the switches have been failing

Just for your info Mark, I bought one of those flips, it looks really good and works fine, but.....isn't there always a but?..... The key blade is held in by a tiny diameter steel? pin which makes for a fair bit of play so if opening the door with the blade you will need to bear this in mind especially when/if the lock solenoid goes u/s & you need to apply a fair bit of effort! Also you may need to trim the joining edges & the slots where the pcb fits with a craft knife to make the buttons more responsive, but that's no big deal :y

Might have to get a couple of keys from you then if that's possible?

Thanks, I did wonder, also need to put a fair bit of pressure when turning key to crank. More so than other cars I've experienced, so that could be a weak point.
