They even brought in a retired employee who went to the pre-test launch of the R75 but he couldn't get it to start: the conclusion being it is a faulty key. (This exercise cost me £47).

Before I send the key back any ideas you clever people?
Did you swap out the little black transponder from the old key?

If the new one has a transponder, was it coded to the immobiliser unit (ews) at the bottom of the drivers side a post?

If no to any of the above, it won't work.

Edit. Just 're read the mention of transponder

Try swapping them.over. But the new one will need to be programmed to the ews.
