I Have used   http://www.spanglefish.com/fingazfobz/   several times, all be it through Ebay rather than direct, and been very happy with the service each time.

Whats wrong with it? Just the switches/batt holder, or is the rubber shagged as well?

Ebay replacement rubbers are universally shite, so I prefer the new fob (about £25) if the rubber fails. Obviously I have a tech2 though.

Swtches and batt holder are dead easy.  I seem to do loads.

TB, here's sopmething else that I bought last week for you to ctiticise!

My previous pikey fob had lasted at least 5 years, worked well and was a doddle to fit, so I am happy. This one is UK sourced, cheap (£2.49) and delivered nextday.

I am interested in how "hard" the buttons are.  All the replacements I've found have been far harder that the GM ones.

My wife can operate the buttons easily, and she is a 7 stone weakling, skinnier than a racing snake!

LOL, no, its not that, its the lack of flexibility...   ...hard to explain.

For £2.50 I might try one in the hope its better than the 30 or so other ones I'd bought and binned.

[Bigron]

I do understand what you are saying - the cases are too stiff, yes? Mine needed replacing last week mainly because my fingernails had got to "girly" length and damaged the casing: but the fob was rather old.

I'll try one of these, and if any good, buy a bucketload.

I seem to repair as many FL saloon keys as door check straps when Omegas pop round to my house.

Never, ever see issues with the 2 batton ones, apart from battery holders where people are a bit heavy handed changing batteries.

I bought one, and the quality is poor, no better than the 99p from China ones.  On the flip side, no worse than many of the £5 ones, other than the seal is a bit fiddly, and the metal bit needs gluing on mine.

No problem will do cheers
