Not sure if this helps.Why dont you call up your nearest Peugeot garage and ask them how much and how long

If you give them a key number this may help.

surgical tweezers may get the stub out. or cut 2 hacksaw blades down to suit. i did this recently with a front door lock yale key.
and a key shop can marry the 2 bits together and cut a new key.

Of you may be able to get a welder to put a tiny spot weld on the remaining bit of the key to allow you to pull it out.

I did this last year, but the key was jammed in the lock and wouldn't come out. I called the AA out (as I was out shopping!) who took the door to pieces, but couldn't do it, my Dad also tried WD40, which normally does the trick. (it didn't!)

It's a Vauxhall, and the dealer did get another key for me, a key alone was £60, the lock was around £150. eek! It took about 2 days.

Litlle bit of super glue? Or sometimes you can push the key out if you can get to the back of the lock?

Yeh as said a tiny dab of super glue then push the remaining key in. If you're lucky, it'll pull the rest out. If that doesn't work then you another way is to drill a small hole (like 2mm) in the back of the local barrel then push the remaining key out with a piece of wire.

If you get the bit out, take the 2 parts to a decent keycutter/locksmith. Cost me £15 to get 2 copies of the broken key made up

I pay £9 PER YEAR for car key insurance.

Lost the car keys to one car and they paid out a £500 bill (one key with remote buttons was £290 !!) AND gave me a hire car for 2 days whilst it was sorted out.

A bargain if you ask me!

Doesn't affect your no-claims either.
