Or rather batteries as I know there are 2. Just misplaced my main blipper (hopefully temporarily) and my other one is batteryless so need to get a new set of batteries for it rather urgently as need the car later. However I don't know what type I need, been to a shop who sold me one set they thought looked right but weren't. Anyone know the code or whatever of the top of their head, or have their fob to hand and don't mind popping it open for me.

Cheers, a hopeful TC.

Feck me I'm unfit, had to get off the bike for a breather on the way back (pretended to make a nonchalant phone call so I didn't look like an out of breath fat bastard who couldn't go any further, although think the wheezing might have betrayed me) ... anyway after all that the bastard shop taunted me by having only one in stock and not the required two... banghead

Have called in the cavalry, mother in law picking up children for me, then picking me up and taking me, (by car) to Halfrauds.

Just wanted to keep you all up to speed on this, I am sure it makes fanscinating reading lol

Can everyone keep an eye out at your local Maplins branch......Expect to see the sight of a man stumbling from the back of an Ambulance any time soon

ETA

I'm off to see if there's any pictures on the "Peddleheads" "spotted" forum

That's hugely kind of you, have however sourced batteries now from Maplins... not that they appear to make the blipper work of course, oh no that would have been just too easy wouldn't it banghead

I really feckin hope my other blipper is where I think it is, or else I'm in a bit of schtook here.
