You might be able to get a suitable one at Maplins in Kingston, but do you know if the failure's caused by the button or some other part of the electrics for the door?

I got mine from TVR power in coventry, include some waterproof covers. However, I find that mine periodically fails, and I just need to spray some contact cleaner on the connections inside the door. Annoying, but a 'character thing', bit like the fact the speedo needs dismantling every time it tries to go over a 10k mile increment.

We sell alarm bits at work, I've considered connecting the button wires to the common & normally open contacts of a wireless receiver & using a keyfob to open the door.

Just never got round to it.

Lazy git that I am

Thanks tim – I did find it in the end… not very intuitive I must say.
