    you need these, just solder the new ones on or get someone else to do it:

    Err walk into an electronics shop and you'll get ten for a quid. Micro switches are not citroen-specific.

    i hope you got that sorted out by now... but if ever someone else may have a similar problem, i think the quickest and cheapest way to get it sorted out is by getting your keys replaced by a locksmith.. here is an index .. hope it helps! http://carkeyadvice.com/united-kingd...ecialist-index
