How do you know it's gone?
Obvious place is a scrap yard.

Any ideas on rough price?
Thanks for the help

Lol i've not really done the looking but her brother was meant to be doing it all for her but he said he couldn't be arsed lol.
Do you know if its just plug and play or does it need to be mapped again?

Need to search for cars being broken rather than listing parts individually.

Yeah its easy to change just make sure the numbers on the front match up with yours so the plugs will be the same. You need to get the transponder chip from the key and the chip reader from around the ignition barrel as all 3 are a matched set. If one of them is different then its cut the standard immobiliser in
