I have a new key fob but am having lots of trouble getting the key section out of the old fob.
The online video makes it look easy , just and easy pull out job with a bit of a wiggle
Not so easy in real life
Any hints or suggestions please

Put the blade in a vice, and pull.
Unless yours has been glued in. Mine had, and I had to chisel it out after the plastic bit broke off the blade.

Should just pull out, mine fell out a few times so I araldited it in so I wouldn't loose it.
Maybe your has been glued in also?

In case you break the case ( pardon the pun) getting the old key out, i just bought a replacement case on ebay from this mob, $2.99 inc Delivery , I'm still waiting for it to arrive. You reuse the existing electronics inside from your old one.

I recently bought one, they are ok just, the plastic is of poor quality and the buttons are a bit hard, not that flex felling you have with the original. had to alter the casing as it was touching the micro switch constantly. saying that it is good as a spare.

It has Valeo stamped on the shaft, just like mine, or is mine a non original?

The chinese are good at copying stuff, I bought one years ago from China ans it had Valeo stamped on it. Just like rolex watches and other fake stuff.

Well it arrived today and what a piece of cheap quality crap. The push buttons are made of hard plastic, not soft like the originals.
