I do believe Timpsons can supply and programme. Quoted me £65 for an extra key for my 07 plate Zaf B

timpsons halifax are pretty expensive now. quoted me approx£160 for an omega key supplied and programmed when i asked them at the weekend.( lad did ask wether i wanted it to work the central locking or just start the car so he may not be fully clued up !)

Be careful of places like this, as they tend to 'clone' the current key rather than adding an additional key properly. This often means that if the spare isn't used for a few months, it will no longer be in sync with the ECU, meaning unlocking with the key and then re-syncing (with the alarm going off). It's better than nothing, but far from great.
Without the Car Pass or knowing that the key etc is original to the car, a cloned key is your only sensibly priced option ;)
Key cloning isn't really viable if you ever want to use the extra key, as it wont unlock car.
