They just cut the key from what I can see you still need to take it and get transponder programmed to the car? I got a spare key cut for £4 in town just for locks as we only had 1 key so we'd at least be able to get into car if it was lost.

You have the option of with or without transponder when you pick the key0 -
I really need to save this and just cut/paste when the questions come up
Go to your nearest loacal 2nd hand dealer, not a main dealer with used cars, but a good old independant. Ask them where they get new keys done, as a rule, they hate spending money, and always know the best place to get keys done, scratches repaired etc.
I was pointed to a local garage that had a keycutting machine and all teh proper kit for programming - replaced teh missing key, coded it as a new key and removed the missing key from teh 'Allowed' list in the ECU - £60
Vauxhall wanted £120 just to cut and clone teh existing key, £180 if I wanted it added as a new key and the ECU tidied up.
And the dealers are nearly always happy to share info on these places - they get the recognition for sending more business their way.0 -
