Ok which

Tw4t designed the fookin key? so handle bit pulls off leaving the key portion in the barrel WTF

I don;t know what the cure is but I have one key in a fob where the key flips out and can;t come loose.

Yeah, that is a bit of a weakness, I thought it might be a problem too, although when I fitted a new blade into the fob, I made sure to press it in as tightly as I could with a small bench vice.
If that doesn't work, you could always try some adhesive, evo-stik even, if that's all you have.

That is a piain , did you get the blade out ?
I had the opposite problem with mine years ago . Went to put the key in and the barrel had all gone tits up inside , had to take the barrel off take apart and rebuild it , less 1 or 2 bits

Been there, done that on a couple..LOL

Although , I am not sure why the blade cannot be removed by the OP using a pair of pliers.

I would fancy one of these, but I doubt the insurance would still be valid.

I have wondered with those, what the range is, as I have heard of people driving off with their keyless starting key fobs on their roofs and then losing them...LOL

Cheers

I really like the idea... but given the horrendous translation of the ebay description, i dread to think what the installation instructions would look like, or the build quality!

Presumably it would disable the steering lock permenantly as well

got the blade out by pushing it back into the fob, just need to remember to turn the key all the way before removal, as it was just short of off wot caused it to separate - still a foo kin bad design tho
