Does the plip bit of the key still work? If so why not just get one of eBay and change the casing over?

changed the batteries in the key today and now blummin thing does'nt work!

looks like its not the infa red jobbie and about £75 + vat for new one.apparently just send away for it and it comes back ready to use.
checked over little curcit and looks ok no breaks,but missus said interior light was flashing when she got into car and now wont work again!!!

If your key has a LED 'bulb' beside the blade then it's an Infra Red type, other wise it's RF. BTW D8's do use both types.
