Replacement key fob switches

[djheath]

For anyone that is interested, the actual switch fell off my key fob the other day. After buying a replacement fob from ebay that ended up being junk, I noticed some guy on Ebay selling the replacement switches at £6 a pop for two! I had a gander and finally found the exact same switches for sale on the following site:

At 35 pence each and with free postage same day it's probably the cheapest and quickest way to fix your key fob.

I ordered four, incase of future breakages and soldered on the new switch last night and it works perfectly!

The site is brilliant and I am sure they sell other switches that are used in different variants of the 406 key fobs!

That is all....

That's an excellent find mate! I've always taken them apart and cleaned them out, I'll be getting me some!
