Default A rare key.

The emergency slim plastic key.
The body electrics workbook of 1999 states this emergency slim plastic key has a transponder chip in it so it can be used it to start the car.
Availability ceased sometime in 1999.

Quite a few car manufactures have these, I've had a couple over the years with different cars.

Its quite rare to buy a used car these days that still has one I dont understand how people can lose them, carelessness at its best.

Here you go LINK

You buy one of these, have the blade cut, and take a ride to anyone of the traders, myself included to have it programmed to the immobiliser

Job done

Someone could make more of these, with Mg and rover versions. I'd happily buy several.
