   Mine had a missing rubber buttons from wear so i brought a fob case of ebay and swaped the circuit board over. You can also buy the micro switches on ebay if they are broke and you dont mind precison soldering them on. On another car i had it was simply just the battery which had died. You can check the switches with a continuity tester on a multimeter idealy one that buzzes by placing the probes either side of the switch then operating the switch and checking for a sound or a reading.

   Which type are we talking about?
   
   The mk1 is infrared and Mk2 is something else I think, I'm guessing the coding/replacing is different depending on which type it is.

    Just change the battery if it worked fine until now.
    
    Mine stopped working one day, left it that way till I could be arsed to try changing the battery and it worked straight away.
    
    Also its dead easy the case just pulls open if you stick a screwdriver in the little gap

    Plenty on eBay, when I bought my Saxo the central locking wasn't working and it was just that the battery had gone flat in the fob...
    
    My fob as also taken some usage and i've had to tape it up til one of these arrive:

    There's a variety of prices from about 5 quid to 15...

    Autodata says to code a new fob you just have to unlock the car with the key, get in and close the door and press the unlock button twice
