The battery for the alarm key fob for my 95 Griff is starting to wear out. I think I'm right in saying this is the Foxguard alarm (black with two small buttons in the middle on one side)?

Would it be ok to just unscrew the back and quickly replace the battery with one exactly the same or is there some strange procedure that i have to go through? Actually, if anybody knows what battery I need then that would be a great help!

Thanks in advance - Chris

If anyone is interested i have a spare (working) keyfob that can be recalibrated to your car alarm.
It was lock out by mine so i cant use it but it will work on any other, apparently the foxguard alarms are prone to this and alarm companies used to keep the locked out keys for use on the next customer with the problem.
If anyone wants it I can bring it along to the Growl on Sunday

The People to speak to regarding isuse with the foxguard alarms (even the TVR modded ones) are a company called "bridgewater electronics". Aparently one or two of the engineers that work for them, we the original designers of the units.
They can repair units for a VERY reasonable price, supply new keyfobs etc, and are a mine of useful info. I even managed to get a copy of the original installation instrustions from them when I was tracing a fault in my 95 griff. They were also kind enough to inform me what the TVR mods were over the standard unit. Nothing secret but would have been impossible to find out elsewhere.
