I've bought a Corsa (2000 model) for my daughter. It came with one key.
When I went to get it cut, the key place said it was a coded immobiliser key and they couldn't do anything apart from copy the key blank.
I've looked at the key and there's an evident crack in it... sooner or later it's going to go.
A short search suggests that Vauxhall will want 45 quid or so to code a new key to the car. Plus 35 or so for the key. Additionally I seem to need a security card with the key code written on it- I don't think I've got this...
What are my options:
If I get a key cut and put this on the same key fob as the existing key will this work, or is the alignment of the key 'head' important?
Can the key blades be removed from the plastic and replaced without damaging the immobiliser chip?
Anyone know anyone independent in the SouthWest who can help?
Thanks in advance for any useful (or amusing) responses.
