Just tried to get into my car - first time since last Friday. It seemed a bit temperamental last time I tried - had to press and hold the button for a while before it unlocked. Not sure if it's the key or the car though. I changed the batteries in the key a couple of months ago so they should be OK.

Should the white button inside the key click when pressed - mine doesn't and I think that might be the problem? One key was always a bit funny, but the other has been fine until last week.



If I need new keys, any suggestions on where and how much?

Flee bay, Tesco or Maplin are miles cheaper for the cells. It might be the micro switch that is kippered. Karl told me last time I was down at his place the fobs fail because of the plastic button design putting stress on the switch, as a result of its orientation. The old rubber meta buttons were better but did not have the TVR logo on them so...... plastic it was and they are less robust
