Ive found them online 🙂 £4 for the 2 depending on size which is where im stuck

I've got them out with a small chisel and hammer you just cut a slot in the top of them then just keep

knocking them around and they should start to come out  then you will be able to find the size 🙂

yes but you will have a different key that's cut to the new lock so the old key should have a chip in it which

you will have to put in the new key also this key will not fit the door locks

Okay brilliant door lock is damaged anyway so trying to get the door lock from the same person, is the chip located on the key end on inside the fob itself?
