Phoned vauxhall there - £35 for a new security card and key without chip. Quite a result since I thought I was looking at over a ton. | |

Cheers for all the other help, I'm going to have a look for auto locksmiths in the yellow pages or something. | |

quote: Cheers for the offer Davie but I'm that sure that I'm going to find this other one that I'd be kicking myself if I changed all the locks for the old key to turn up in a couple of weeks. I'll need to think about it though, see how much it's going to cost to get a new one cut and I'll get back to you mate. | |

Easiest way would be go back to vauxhall and get one cut from your v5. tell them you dont need it coded as you have not got the original engine fitted. | |

No sort of key cover, not something I've ever thought about unfortunately. I've looked into getting a spare before, but thought I needed the chipped one so thought there was no point. | |

Got my hopes up there reading your first post there John. Found a couple of places that'll de-code the lock if you take the door lock to a locksmith. | |

:lol: I hadn't even thought about that, if you don't have a spare I doubt many places can do it and my last post is useless. | |

If it doesn't need a chip you should be able to get one from anywhere that cuts keys. | |

As above, I've lost the key for the corsa on the 23rd of last month. I'm thinking it's buried under the snow so until it thaws and I can have a proper look, I'm thinking about getting a new one cut. |
