Does anyone know how simple changing the battery in my Focus' key is, and if simple, does anyone know the type of battery I need to buy? The battery in the remote 'Siemens' key must be about 5 year's old now, and has very little transmitting power to operate the remote central locking. I've not had a car with remote central locking before, so don't know if I'm best off changing the battery myself, or getting the garage to do it.
Any advice appreciated.

It's very simple; remove the ring from the tab, then gently pry apart with something flat, starting at the tab. Kinda work it around as it separates. Don't force it, as the plastic could easily break. I don't remember what battery went in mine, but it was a very common button/watch battery.

It's a 30 second job with a medium size flat blade screwdriver.
Many thanks for the advice
