Not sure if I’ll be able to find the remains of the old fob as I lobbed it into a big pile of rubbish ready to throw into a skip at the weekend
Who do I call to supply and program a new chip
The guys on here will do a good job for you but it's at a justifiable charge so do have a good look for the chip first. If you 'lobbed it' still inserted into the old case then you've got a chance (unless it's been absolutely crushed under a lump of concrete or similar, it shouldn't be damaged). If you do find it, just a simple light prise from it's old home and a gentle press with a thumb into your shiny new housing and 'bob's should be your thingy'
