    key fob

    The remote i have is type B , Is there a common reason the fobs stop working ie break in circuitry . Dont fancy going to expense of getting a new fob if cost is likely to be £50 + May have to hope the other normal fob and the flatter version last the course . Thanks for responses thus far guys.

    key fob

    Went to go out today put fob in ignition and no noise of steering lock releasing and so fob would not start car - Had to go and get spare fob and it worked ok as did the flat non battery fob . Any pointers ? i must assume its nothing to do with the fob battery or why would non battery fob work .
