Hmm. Sounds like there could be a Jalfrezi coming my way if I play my cards right. :P

Do you know what year the car is? Not a CAN one, I hope?

 ;D I think we need to insert "Del Boy" into your username somewhere, Chris..  ;D

For a minute there, though, I thought I'd missed a 'key programming' meet at a curry house - I was most disappointed!  :D

Or the seller selling the rubbers for £6.99.  Batteries and switches ain't dear.

At £15, I reckon I'd be looking more towards a new one from a dealer ;D

I was in there the other night with Joshwyatt and the useless student, and the waiter rattled off Mrs TB, joshwyatt and my drinks and food order before I said a word....

Think thats probably a BAD sign about how often I frequent the place :o

Right, spoke to the owner, it's an 04 vectra c. 2.0d.

Dealer tells me the key for these has been replaced by a flick blade style item for £80. Key the owner has looks identical to my omega saloon 3 button job. But there is no transponder in it like the omega.

So obvious question is can we buy an omega key fob and programme that for the vectra c?

I need another key as mentioned, or rubber swapped repaired, so while speaking to the dealers I enquired about a blank blade and un programmed fob for omega out of interest, 37 for the blank fob, and 40 for the uncut blade  :o

Although neither of us need the blade, I just can't believe the price of it....?

Anyway, sounds like the guy does not use the car very often, so maybe a repair job is best. He does not have another spare key.

I bought one for my two button key and the quality seems good but mine was only about £8 but I have forgotten where from :-[

edit-I found it and they do the 3 button case as well

If going down the reprogramming new key route, give me plenty of time, as Vectra-C needs CANdi, and thats up in Nottingham ;D
