Peugeot and Citroen have had flip remote keys for quite a few years now, however they have encountered a few problems:

Flick out mechanism failure

The flick out mechanism on these remotes is quite fragile, if dropped onto the blade there is a high chance of something breaking, this can be solved by simply replacing the case, rather than the entire unit. We keep cases in stock, 3 button, 2 button and the 4 button for electric sliding doors. Call us for a quote. 

Remote buttons stop working

If the remote gets wet, or one of the buttons breaks off, it can stop the remote working correctly, we do offer key repair services, so if your button has broken off we can get it working again, some however are unrepairable, if that is the case we stock, supply and program brand new genuine remote keys the same day. Give us a call for a quote 

Car won't start

A damaged peugeot or citroen key can be the reason your car isn't starting. A common problem is the aerial on the circuit board breaks off, resulting in the transponder data becoming unreadable. Water damage can have the same effect. 

Where possible we offer key repairs, however sometimes the only option is a new remote, don't go to the dealer, we have these in stock.
