So do you remember the key at some point coming apart ?

If No... Could the transponder have been put in the steering column somewhere and now its fallen off ?

Christ! I know he came to you, but you could have almost bought the whole key & had it coded from Vauxhal for that kind of money!

But that would have been plus the cost of having the car recovered to them, and getting it back sometime in the new year.


Although £132 does seem a bit steep.
