Mr sporty refurbed this fob for me a couple of years ago. It was back in a few days and that was over an Easter weekend as well. Like I said use it once a week to keep it active. Think the battery problem is crap batteries these days. Have bought brand new ones and they've been dead. Don't seem to get the quality these days
I've never used cheap batteries. The first company was in Peterborough ,I've just had a message that my key has been posted back,should be with me tomorrow. Sent it on Monday morning so good service if it works and lasts.;):D

Woke her up at 7 this morning with a rather reluctant battery but still fired into life. :D
Helped Elliott do his belt, pump and pulleys with a bit time in the garage. Quiet this afternoon, the last pump from 2009 with a BMW logo had a plastic 'pella on it o_O
All done with INA and febi gear. Niiice :cool:

I have an ad blocker on my home computer, so I don't get any ad at all, that's why I was so surprised with the amount of them, if it was me... personally I wouldn't mind paying a few ££ a month to have it ad free, and just say a sponsor with one large ad on each page
 
Errr.... this may seem like I'm ****ing about, but when I was in the Himalayas, they did have Yak chews, and they don't taste of much, they are made from yak milk.... true...
How the feck would a dog know the difference? Ad aimed at gullible owners who think they're organically superior. Said goodbye to an old friend today but he had a good life.:(

It's been getting worse and worse. Not even as if the site is anything exceptional. The owners don't care about anything but more and more ads.
The only good thing about the site are the people who use it.

I've had mine for 7 or 8 years now and only ever had 1 key.. replaced the housing last year I think as it was just too tatty and the buttons were worn through but still, only 1 key.

I've never changed the battery in mine. I have to get reasonably close to the car now for it to work but there's no way that battery cover is moving without catastrophic damage so I will wait till it fails and then contact MrSporty!
 
We don’t know any battery that is 100% guaranteed. I picked one up from a local shop (which has since been bought out) and it’s lasted years. Luck of the draw - usually pertaining to a few months.
