I was given 2 folding keyfobs but neither of them will stay folded. I have had a look and I can separate the key from the electronics but I can't see a way of taking it apart to try and fix the locking mechanism. Has anybody else had this and, if so, have you managed to fix it?
Not a big issue but still annoying as open it is a BIG key and, from what I read on here, expensive to get replaced.

Not easy to repair, involves cracking the casing of the top part open, you will probably find that the metal lugs have snapped on the "blade" part, if these are still rattling around inside they can be super glued back on and the very fiddley spring re-fitted before glueing the previously forced casing back together. Or you can pay £120 for a new key!
Both of mine were broken and I managed to fix one as above but it took me a whole night shift so I decided to leave the other one as it is!
