Key seems fine. Still opens and locks car.

Transponder is not used to open or lock, only to start. As Rob pictures above, it must be right next to the ignition barrel to allow it to start. If its missing, no starty!

Good news, might be worth dab of superglue on the replacement, so it does not go walkies next time  :y

Have you looked around where you dismantled the key? Maybe inside the Hoover (other vacuum cleaners are available  ;))? A new chip will need programming via TechII  ;)
