Well the minimum order of switches is 10 and postage from RS - you are looking at about £10 for the parts.

Just good with a soldering iron, use modelling skills to repair some damage, and I have excellent close up vision.

Its £65 (incl VAT) to get the key programmed from polar aircon. Thats including callout fee. Im not complaining but that brings the total price (incl new blank key) back to around £100 which is competing with Vauxhalls service department. Can anyone think of other alternatives?

Your cheapest option, if the fob is truly beyond repair, would be to source a new / 2nd hand one and get it programmed by one of our Tech 2 custodians.

2nd hand runs the risk of an incompatible fob unless you can compare the circuit boards and determine that they are identical. New ones are about £30 odd from a dealer excluding programming, IIRC. See the link at the bottom of my post for Tech 2 prices and locations. Thumbs Up!
