Really considering one of these flips, advert says it works for Omega, but will it really?

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

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.

Yes it works, the blade is not good you will have to buy another one.
