vx charge £40 for the key and another 30-40 to program it A local locksmiths to me can "clone/copy" chiped keys for £24.95
If you have lost you keys then only vauxhall can sort it bar changing the ecu and loop

really . They have 2 replace the ECU if you lose you're keys :O. I know about the anti-theft/immob bit. But surely there has to be a cheaper way to get a programmed key for f**k's sake!! flashing chips on motherboards on PC's dont even cost that much!

If you have lost your key if you can get you car to a vx dealer there charge you anything up to £200 to sort the keys out
if you want do it you self get the colmn loop,ecu and chip from the key that matches the ecu
sorry i didnt make it too clear
edit. Vx will order the key in for you it take 2-3 days then thay need to program the ecu to execpt the key with the tech 2

the problem with getting one from the scrapys is getting the matching keys for the ecu but you still looking £80-100 if you can find the correct ecu for you car

i was charged £70 quid last year for a new one at vauxhall. That was for the key code, cutting and programming. i nearly fell over when he gave me the invoice.

locksmiths etc can code upto 2000 models only iirc
after that the chip is on a rolling code and needs to be programmed via tech 2
if you lose your key all is not lost as you can get the vin number via tech 2 off the ecu then get a car pass with security code and key number, order and program a new key
jobs jobed
if you were nearer I could do it cheaper for you mate

one question. A local scrappy may b able 2 supply me the door locks & boot, ECu and key. Most importantly If I was to replace these, will the new ECU read its key and start the engine again?
thanx in advance!!
