Got a replacement IR Key Fob on order from e-bay as the current one is on it's last legs.
Is there a special knack to changing the key blade over. Cant see any screw's etc, just seems to be (an almost) rivet like metal piece that acts as the pivot point.
Is it just a case of pushing it through, changing the key, and then pushing it back.
Once that's sorted, just got the window and speedo to sort out.
Thanks again.

The rivet is made in two pieces and splits in the middle.
Push a strong bladed instrument into the gap between the blad and the fob (maybe one on each side) so as to stretch the casing and rivet by about 2mm. The rivet should then pop out, or at least stretch so that you can get a fine screwdriver under one of the heads to pull it out.
Reassembly is a simple push operation.
