Trivial and frivolous keyfob issue
A couple of days ago as I was happily flicking my key in and out (as I have a won't to do) it suddenly stopped wanting to go back in. I managed to force it back in and then it was reluctant to come back out again. I managed to get it out but it is completely unusable as a flick-key any more, so it is very uncomfortable in the pocket. I can get it in and out but it is remarkably difficult. I have solved the problem by nicking my wife's key as she has far more room in her handbag than I have in my pocket, but I just wondered whether I was unique or if anyone lese had come across this issue?

Happened to one of mine - you've broken the spring clip that keeps it in the in or out postion, and the broken bit is now wedged under the key blade pivot. I think I maned to work it out with a small screwdriver or something but that left the key a bit floppy. You used to be able to buy a fixing kit for the key blade for a few quid consisting of a new rivet and spring clip - drill the old rivet out and change it over.
