E85 key fob battery
Ok so my key fob battery looks like it's died on me! Only have 1 key at the minute so firstly can I replace the battery with a normal one or do I need a rechargeable one and is it a diy job thanks in advance

It's a pita to be honest as key is sealed, so you need to cut it. Then solder in new battery . Battery's are on fleabay, and you tube should show you how to do it.
Alternatively, there's a couple of guys on eBay who will provide a new key coded etc to the car. I think one is in St. Helens.

Do drive it quite a bit seems to have been playing up for the last couple of weeks must admit though mainly driving it on a weekend for a few hours but the car is a 53 reg and rechargeable batteries don't last forever

You could try placing it on a toothbrush charger (induction) overnight. Did that with my 04 reg dead key, it was nice & warm in the morning & has been fine since.

Yeah, I saw those but they don't seem to be compatible with pre 2005's .Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 9:12 pm One of mine is playing up, so just ordered a couple of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/433Hz-Remote- ...

I had to reprogramme both my keys after the recharge of the dead one. I used method 2 on here:

Listing states compatible with Z4 - 2003-2005, so I am assuming pre-facelift? What you did only works to resync the remote, you can't program immobiliser transponders without the proper diagnostic kitoldgitdave wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 9:37 pmYeah, I saw those but they don't seem to be compatible with pre 2005's .Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 9:12 pm One of mine is playing up, so just ordered a couple of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/433Hz-Remote- ...

£40 for battery and new case/key cut.
I didnt feel safe sending my key off to some internet bloke with the address where my new baby resides lol

Ben at bmkeys did mine
As above was worried about my keys with someone but my garage isn't next to my house:)
Plus after a long chat on phone he calmed me
Great results
