Key Cutters - Yorkshire \ Lancashire

efreeti · 18th June 2011, 20:28

Has anybody found a key cutter up this way who is confident\capable enough to attempt to cut an R75 key from a blank?

I only have one key and whilst the electronics are still working the blade itself has broken away from the fob! I've got a blank fob and blade, just need somebody to cut it.

I read that Timpson shops are not only able to cut them but also to encode them. Whether they all have the equipment/training to encode new keys I can't verify, but I've had blanks machined for another car.

See this: http://www.timpson.co.uk/services/70/remote-car-keys

You usually have to get new transponder keys made via BMW through a UK agency like Lates, Coventry. These are typically £200 a go.

Hi Tcut and others, Regarding rover75 keys, When i bought my latest r/75 2004 (3yrs ago) It came with 2 keys, I thought they both worked, but again I have had a few sleeps since then, The key we use (say key 1) works fine everything ,unlocks the door/knocks the alarm off/and startes the car (fine), the spare key(key 2) will open the door/boot/start the car , provided i have not locked the car with the main key If I have locked the car with the main key(no1) which we use, when we try to use the other key(no2) to unlock the car, the alarm goes off, so hence we dont use(no2) any solutions, TEEBEE:

Without a coded transponder inside.

As I said, worth trying Timsons. They say they can now make car keys with all the coded bits inside.

Definitively, can Timpsons do 75 keys that unlock and start the car? I phoned the national helpline and the guy was vague and thought they couldn't, but then I see this.

There is a small shop in York that can cut them, a bit of a drive from Halifax, if you want the details I can get them for you (I know where it physically is but not what the business name/building number are!).

thanks for the replys everyone. I'm also going to try the chap in Leigh. Also the BMW parts shop in Manc recommended a firm in Duckinfield.
