Anybody have any spare keys?

I have been bidding on second hand keys on E bay but would rather give my buisness to somebody on here.

Either the whole key or just the board would do.

Have you tried asking in the items wanted section?

You are aware keys off e bay are useless as you need the barcode to program the remote to the car and the transponder is a use once only. Before you buy, have a chat to one of the T4 guys that do keys, they will put you on the right direction. Old keys go for less than £10 on the bay. Barcodes can be calculated and new transponder chips are available for a couple £'s, but you will need to find somebody with a T4 and an immoblisier programmer; and of course the knowledge on how to programme keys to boot.

What are you wanting to achieve then

I can sort you out with a remote board with barcodes if that's all you need
