    Is it a key for remote central locking? or the key with the mini torch? If its for the torch one just put a 1c coin in the groove and twist. The battery is a wierd one tho, a bit like a watch battery, but not standard. If you have trouble finding one, try watch shops, and chemists (similar batterys go in hearing aids).

    If its for the central locking key, eh, best of luck.

    i think its the key for the locking of the doors from far away:D

    and when you mean torch your referring to light ya
    if so nope in my key

    my key only has one button on it and a small bulb thing under the key which i presume is the sensor??

    not sure

    By torch i mean light. Its the small bulb thing under the key you mentioned. In general, if your car came with this type of key, it has central locking, but not remote central locking, so replacing the battery will only make the light work and help you find the lock barrell in the dark.
