how do i replace an ignition key
Hi, I am the proud owner of a 2000 Rover 75. Unfortunately I have lost the spare ignition key. I went to a specialist locksmith who told me that the technology for the key is BMW and they wouldnt be able to make me another one. Any advice as to how I can get a replacement as I am now guarding my remaining key like a child!

A new key will cost somewhere between £140 and £180 as it needs to be ordered from Germany and then needs a T4 session to code it to your car.
I think there are some members on here who can help with obtaining one and coding it. Where in the country are you located? Derek |
Best of British are relatively cheap but not worth the effort if you're not within driving distance of Darlaston (West Mids).

The blade can be replaced cheaply <£10 The circuit board has a unique number normally in the form of a barcode. If you have the barcode you can reprogram the board to other cars. Or replacements can be had for <£50 The chip is the problem. This is the bit that costs a load of money as they are unique to the car. You can swap circuit boards and reprogram the car to accept them but you still need a chip to start the car. |
