Yeah just having a look on ebay there's a few breaking Foresters so might just drop on one, thanks for the advice it's really appreciated.

Yeah that's it, not mechanically minded enough to start messing with it though I'll have to see if my local garage can have a go. It'll have to be replaced though as the metal is seriously thin.

Is this the bit that you mean? It's quite rusty so I'm guessing that could be bent, doe'snt look easy to replace either!

I've just bought a 59 plate Forester (my very 1st Subaru), it's a single button fob which when I press it to lock up the car beeps 5 times then the alarm goes off, press it again alarm stops and drivers door only unlocks. I'm assuming it's the standard factory fitted alarm. I've no owners manual so has anyone got any ideas what the problem might be?
