hello guys i have a mk 8 tranny from new a 16 plate, my prob is the first key fob stopped working after about 8 to 10 months, i took it to ford and they said it wasnt under warrenty and that i had abused the key and wanted 150 for a new one, i declined and started using my spare only for it to stop working after 2 months, i can use them both manually in the lock but no buttons are working on the remote. i read about this key and ford say its one of there best yet, its been submerged in petrol, dropped a 1000 times from a height subjected to intence fine powder infiltration and a load of other stuff, surely the keys on this van should last longer than just over a year, i had a mk 6 tranny 7yrs and the key worked fine for all the time i owned it, has anyone else had this problem as i,m dammed if i,m paying ford for another set of keys.
thanks
kev
ps i am a plasterer but the keys are in my pocket all day not in a bucket of plaster
