Only just saw this - but Eden's in Bracknell are a TC dealer.. if you need any bits getting on TC just let me know and I can pop down there and pick stuff up no problem 

I struggled to find somewhere around here to cut the key though - in fact I gave up in the end.. Don't bother with Timpsons in town, they're more expensive than the dealer! A small locksmiths ought to be able to do it, though.

Many thanks Aaron,very strong possibility that it's going to be the less troublesome route to go down if it can be done straight with VX,will PM you as to when you're around as they will need certain items from me i.e V5's, ID and payment etc.

I purchased a blank of fleebay and took it to Timpsons for cutting.He cut the key using my old key as pattern and then said no cost as he couldnt guarantee that it would work.It was perrfectly OK.

where is martin imber these days he did repair both my fobs.... has he equipment to program blanks??

Funny you should mention him Mark....he's on that very well known auction site saw it today, and his rates are much cheaper than all the other people doing key refurbs.Got a feeling that he only does the repair side,but think I can get the programming done on here at reasonable rates with a bit of luck.

Martin Imber can replace the switches, fix battery holder problems and replace the rubbers (I believe with those nasty hard ones from ebay, going by the fobs I've seen that he's repaired).

I do not believe he has programming facilities, and even if he did, he'd need the car


For key cutting, avoid the well known high street places and try backstreet independent coblers etc

Got a pair of GM fob covers off egay a couple of years back for less than £3 ea - came in sealed GM bags complete with part no and hologram.

Sorry, the 3 button fobs. Rare for 2 button ones to need fob replacing.
