I'm having problems with my keys. Early fob with built in key. Despite replacing the batteries, I constantly get the low key battery warning on the dash. Today one fob stopped working altogether. Do I need new fobs? If so what's the reprogramming procedure - can I do it myself?

Just buy the upgraded key off the bay then follow the tube guides on how to program

Thanks. So I take to a look smith to get key cut but can just programme it myself? I think method involves inserting key in ignition, turning to position 1 then 0, removing and pressing buttons in various combinations. Sound about right?
Just checking I've found the right video

This is the key I bought, you need to take the transponder chip out of the old key and fit it into the new 1. Yes get it cut at a decent locksmith then follow the online guides to program the new key.
Powerfull UK do a good easy to follow utube guide

Brilliant . Thank you. How easy is it to take just the chip out? I'm asking because part of the problem is the micro switches of the original are clearly worn out and so don't want to swap the complete old board into a new casing.

You cannot use your old board, it's just a small chip tucked inside the fob case it's not attached to the board. Don't lose it
