Finally got around to buying a new horseshoe key and 3 button fob for my Omega.
I am now ready to have the key programmed and the firmware update in the slushbox and climate control.
The question is: do I take a chance and entrust the job to the local main dealer? my preference would be to meet up with an OOF expert to have the job done properly but I think the nearest to me is Kevin Wood (and he's a long way from Cornwall).

If distance is a problem you haven`t got much of a choice. Dealer will do it just depends what he`s going have you over for
-
I do drive up to London fairly often. The distance isn't a problem, getting myself organised might be ::)
-
If you're almost passing, Kevin Wood would be my choice over a dealer :y
Not sure if I'm getting down to Cornwall this year
-
Worst case scenario, wait until September and come to Newent to get it done :y
-
Do you still have the old one?

Do you still have the old one?
No, unfortunately :( I bought the car with only one key.
The key I have is suffering now. I fitted a new rubber case (from ebay) which makes it look better but the boot release is a bit temperamental.
I have bought some new SMD switches from Farnell which I will fit myself (but not before the new key has been programmed).
-
That reminds me, I really must pop some new switches int the Elite's fob... ...I've had the switches on the shelf for about 9 months ;D
-
I have sent Kevin Wood a PM (and had a reply). I don't know yet when I might be able to arrange a visit.
Hopefully soon because the gearbox and climate control can be very irritating.......

Before I found this forum, I paid £45 to Toomey Vx, for half hour labour to program the 2nd key.
Won't make that mistake again >:( :(

I still haven't fitted my key fob switches ::)
Just in case I never find them again the switches I bought were Farnell part no 186-7993
