Would be good to know if you can beat the dealer price! Keep us updated A car with more than one key should be slightly easier to sell on I think anyway as the buyer knows it's not something they have to worry about.

i couldn't get hold of anyone on the link posted above but i have found a locksmith through this agency http://www.locksmiths.co.uk/default.asp

the locksmith can cut me a key for the car total cost £30.00 :eek:

i explained about the imobiliser chip in the key but the locksmith said he can do it and it will only be £30.00

massive saving compared to the dealers price

The dealers all go to the local locksmith who can read and then copy chipped keys. I bought a Vectra a few years ago now, only one key, Direct Cars gave me a chitty to take to the local place, Pollards for anyone in derbs, cheaper by far than VX etc,
One locksmith chappy posted on here that they can now do credit card keys such as renault use, :T:T:T, things just lag a little but the independants catch up very quickly:T

Will any of these provide a key for a roofbox? Left mine in my old house and it seems so expensive to replace going through Halfords.

Only one way to find out;) Locked or unlocked at present, maybe possible to remove the barrel if open
