Trouble is, new keys need programming to the car (which Marks_DTM and I can do if you have your carpass).

I can supply blank keys with the transponder, but not the fob (see ebay).

Yes,you need to get the right type (just looking the same isn't enough), then get it programmed to the car via (real) Tech2 or similar.

Ho do you check if they're the right type?

The fob type are all the same Megamos ones.  The integrated type, on the flat bit on back of key says type. Hard to read, try different lights.

How can you get the pass code...if it is from vx does anyone know about how much it is....i too only have one key

Carpass from dealer - you normally need to take V5 in.  Charge varies from £15 to £50, so shop around a few dealers.

learner mechanic sorry to hijack your thread

TB if you can supply the blank and transponder and program it to the car, is is possible to get the fob at a later date and put the two parts together :question

3 things need to happen for a new key:

• Key has to be mechanically cut
• Immobiliser has to be programmed to accept transponder chip
• C/L (or alarm if fitted) ECU has to be programmed to accept remote fob
