Right guy's just noticed the lock button on my key is missing "see photo" . Where's the best place for a replacement key? Or can I get one from Ebay, use the case and take the electrics out off my key ?

Key Fob shells are available on the bay, no problem. Prise the back off as if you were changing the battery and you should be able to carefully prise out the circuit board and drop in into place in the new case, it's held in place by some tiny clips at the edge of the board. The key blade is a tight, very tight fit into the fob. Pull it out of the old case and push it back into the new one. You'll probably have to grip the key blade in a vice, so be careful not to bend it, but it can be done.

Just done my two keys this week with £4 ebay fob, worked fine. Only issue is that on both my original keys the plastic part that holds the key into the fob snapped. I just knocked out the little roll pin on the spare blades that came with the new fobs and swapped them over to the original blade. Took 5 mins max
