Keyswitches in 3 button fobs is relatively easy. Shop sells the switches ;)

Speaking of fobs, I need a new one for 2.2. Can you bring one tomorrow please?  :-*
Any why would I have one  ???

Buy from a dealer. About £27 plus VAT for the last I bought.

I'm finding a lot of blank fobs & buttons, but none that supply that board  :(

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Opel-Omega-Vectra-3-Button-Remote-Fob-Case-Blank-Flat-Blade-Key-/110951179755?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item19d534a5eb
The ebay replacement cases are utter shite. I've been trying to find some to put together a kit for the shop, but they are all universally shite. Hence the recommendation to use dealer.

That cheap? Thought they were way more than that! Problem solved then.

That the whole key, or just fob bit?

Just fob.

I may still have blades and transponders, as they are same across range (post 98)

So today oil and filter change + full throttle body and breather clean on 2.2. Also tracked down a pesky LPG leak, found to be on pipe of vaporiser.

New air fresher + new fob programmed. So quite successful on that car.

Not so successful, on little fattys rusty bullet's oil leak  ::)

Quite impressive lost b*stard bolt & 8mm socket somewhere in that engine bay!  ;D
