Does anybody have an old, broken or disused fob lying around from which I can nick the button covers?

Thanks JR! If no freebies materialise I think that will do nicely!

New cases are £3.97 plus VAT from your local XPart supplier - part number YWX101010.

P.S. On that number that Ralph gave, you get an entire new fob with the pcb and a battery as well; so paying a fiver to the ebay seller for postage and then another fiver for the buy-it-now price would have been pretty silly. Thanks a lot Ralph!
P.P.S. Any ideas where I can get 'volcano' touch-up paint?

Give these these guys a go. Just stick your paint code in and they'll come up with the goods.

I usually run a mile from any company with "4U" in the name but they came highly recommended to me and they certainly matched my Sonic Blue pretty good. May not be the cheapest but they provide a good service and the match is pretty good.

Volcano paint went onto back order some time ago, and as far as I am aware will not be available again from XPart due to lack of demand.

Picked up replacement key fob case the other day. Xpart had them on promotion and I got mine for £3-27. Can't be bad.
