Desperately need 2 new keys
As per title, both my keys have been held together with sellotape. I can use the remotes by poking my finger in the worn out holes but I can't see this lasting too well.
Is there a service that can replicate the keys - I live in Beds but am close to Herts and even North London. Any advice guys? I have seen a couple of threads about doing it yourself, but would rather get it done properly... |

I used it on our previous 75's fob and it worked well for around £5. |

Not so sure its just a case of the rubber buttons - on oneof my keys the metal shaft came out lol. I just found this:

That ebay ad looks good, however I don't think I'd be comfortable giving somebody my car key and address. I'd rather pay the extra and use one of our traders like Marinabrian or PhilT4 or BigRuss, apologies if I've missed any of the other traders who do keys

I would certainly echo Barney Bear's advice . I will give CB750CHRIS a shout out as he accidentally got missed off the list.
I got fixed up with my key and repairs to others by BigRuss - I would certainly recommend him from personal experience CLINTE |

Keys..................... Hmmm yes the CDT came with only one and the blade wobbles in the case so bought a new cae and blade but cannot find anyone to cut the key. Both places that i know of Skegness said nope.
The last one I had cut was by a chap in Spilsby but he has packed in the shop it has not been a good day for sorting stuff today on the whole.

I also struggled around York and had to go to Leeds the first time to get mine cut. Second time i went to clifton moor in York ( near Tesco) as he had a new machine to cut the keys.....

Big Russ provided me with a second key to work all the electrics on my car, and the local High Street key cutter (Garforth near Leeds) cut the blank from my one original. Wouldn't work initially as he hadn't cut the groove deep enough, but now fine and used every day.
