Bmw Mini Push Start

[dibble1]

My Mini, cooper s decided it wasn't going to recognise the key after I went into a garage. As a consequence I've had to abandon it there. LUCKILY not too far from home. Imagine I was!!!! Is this likely to be the key fob, or the recepticle?
Has this happened to anyone else? If so? How much???

To start, do not go into the dealers, for a local Auto Elec & get him / her to check out / replace the Battery.

Does the Key/Fob have a battery in it, that would be my first check.

Any help?
