Replacement Alarm Fob - plan B required

[ESDavey]

My spare Meta Alarm Fob for my '98 Griffith has broken. Appears the top of the micro-switch is missing so does work but needs a nail to activate.

Plan A was Carl Baker but he appears to have moved & no reply (so far) to eMail.

I need a plan B. a> can these fobs still be purchased & sync'd with my alarm by me ?
b> figure out how to fix the broken micro switch ?
c> know any breakers who would sell spare fobs ?
d> anyone got a fob they dont need ?

...... oh, and I'm living in Madrid so cant get the car + keys to a UK dealer ! Any thoughts please ??

I've never tried this company but their website looks interesting.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the ideas & Argent for the offer of a spare case.
If I could get a complete fob I may be able to swap the microswitch. May also look for breakers.
Anyone recommend a good scrappy ? (used to love visiting a good scrap yard when I was young & keeping a Marina Van going !)

Hi there, if it's just the microswitch inside the fob you could try looking on the RS (Radio Spares of old) and Farnell websites:

The small PCB is removable and if microswitch available (or similar as long as pin outs the same), you can replace it. All the best, Pete

Or if you dont feel able to repair your one these do the Meta spares http://abacuscaralarms.co.uk/alarmshop/index.php?a...

I used this company recently and there service is excellent.
If you remove the main control box of your alarm[which is quite easy] and send it off to them they can reprogram it and supply 2 brand new alarm fobs, a new alarm code[will explain this later] and post it return the same day, all for approx £100.
The new alarm code is invaluable as anytime in the future you require a new key fob, you can phone them and quote the alarm code number, and they can send out a new fob straight away.
