I think bushwear are the main importer to the uk and I believe they do some repairs and have remotes for sale
I’ve always found FoxPro themselves quite helpful … they sent me some spares over when I ran over (don’t ask 
) my FX32 x years ago but when my Firestorm’s TX9 handset failed I had to send it back to them…At the time I couldn’t talk them into just sending me the innards. Bushwear couldn’t repair or replace 
Worth a try…

The speaker switches on but there's nothing on the remote
Is it the batteries going flat ? Mine chews them like nothing else - and its a pain you cant turn the remote "off"

I can turn my remote off and the battery has been in for years.

I had a display on the remote fail - got a new remote from Bushware £80. However, turns out my Inferno was of US market origin and had a different frequency to the uk remote. Ended up swapping the displays over to get it up and running again. Working ok now but I’ve always found the range very disappointing at around 70 yards.

Apologies lads mines an Icotech !
Which caller and remote have you got?
The PP3/9v battery connector and wires in my Firestorm’s TX9 handset were pretty fragile and the original vinyl covered connector gave up the ghost so I replaced it with a pre-wired hard plastic connector from eBay and soldered that to the board. ‘‘Twas the same with the 8 AA battery pack connector & wires in the original FX32 caller.
I’ve had to open the handset on occasion after a wet night when the rain has run down the lanyard and into the handset and managed to detach the wires from the board as it unexpectedly separated …. Foxpro kindly confirmed what wire went where to get it back up and running 
If I you have got one of those flimsy connectors, I’ve got some spares of the better hard plastic ones here.

Just looked it up and your TX24 handset is similar to my TX9 in using a PP3 9v battery…
If your handset is dead my first thought would be to suspect the battery connections, either in the connector itself or the other end where the wires attach to the board.
Be careful when you prise the handset apart to allow the battery wires free movement otherwise you risk pulling the wires off the board. No need to ask me how I know
(pm me your address and I’ll stick a new battery connector in the post just in case.
)Apart from that… try Bushwear or Foxpro themselves for repair or replacement. If you contact FoxPro you’ll need the Serial No of the caller which is in the battery compartment.
As Fez says above…. The button pads aren’t the best in the world for feel, especially in gloves! Catches me out all the bloody time! I’m thinking I might try n find a small self-adhesive silicone ‘pimple’ as per furniture drawer bump stops to stick over the mute button

Update on the caller, I have 3 callers here, 2x spitfire and 1 x wildfire and none of them are sending calls to the caller, all remotes are showing working on the display but for some reason nothing is coming from caller, I'm starting to wonder if the SD card may be blank but I can't read it on the laptop, any ideas folks?
