If the "Fobs" are getting tatty, just buy better ones off ebay, and transfer the insides over. You won't need them reprogramming. My 3 button job is called "A Key".  ::)

I have just purchased a 53reg Omega and it only came with one key.

Anyone know how much Vauxhall charge for a replacement, or if there is an alternative supplier I could get one from?

If it is gonna be to much then will have to look into getting a second hand one and getting it reprogrammed.  :-/

depends what you want the second key for, if it just for the locked the key in the car senario, then a blank key that does nothing more than unlock the car can be the way forward  :)

What's the "correct" name for the facelift 3-button fob ??

Both mine are getting very tatty, and Martin has repaired them more than once, I doubt he can keep doing so indefinetly.

My thoughts are to watch fleabay to try and aquire a couple of good condition ones, fit the existing key-part horseshoe thingy, and get the things re-programmed at Newent.

Any one see a hole in the plan ??

:)
Think the facelift ones are only £35 from dealer.  Makes buggering about on egay a bit, well, gay  :-/

And all the easier & cheaper if you have your own Tech II to programme it when you've bought it. Lesser mortals have another £25 on top for programming it.  :y  :y  :y

The fobs on egay for 3 button facelifts go for around £20-£25 normally, hence why may as well get fob for £35 brand new.  Well, thats my opinion :)

Exactly, I don't like having one key.

Trouble is, when I had the tractor, I kept reprogramming all the keys between the cars, invariably ended up with remotes that would simultaneously unlock both, and transponders that would start both ;D.

Obviously all set back to normal before selling tractor :y

I could do with that set up. the number of times I've mistakenly picked up the wrong key, pointed towards one car and another unlocks!  :-?  ;D  ;D  ;D

It is the covers doing it they have perished and stick - holding the buttons in - on your latest I found a stiiffer switch to use to push back harder.

Hot water treatment seems to help for a while.

Just really need a good stock of brand new insideless covers.
