anybody know how to get a new key with remote .
-
Look in the yellow pages for an automotive locksmith.
Expect to pay about £100 for a key, chip and remote.
Done while you wait.

Not sure I agree with the above.
Get a blank blade off eBay (make sure it has the immobiliser chip)
Get a brand new remote fob from Vauxhall dealer (around £35 on trade)
Get the blade cut at your local key cutting place, then you need to get key coded with tech2 (you will need immobiliser code)
-
So that is at least 3 different suppliers, and at best an overnight wait for the parts. Then there's all the running around involved.
Factor in the possibility of higher charges to work on parts not supplied directly, and what would the OP have saved?
All for a job that could still be completed by lunchtime!

Errr £50! ::)
No time restraints were specified, if you are prepared to wait a day or two. You can get a key done for half what you have quoted :y
You also need to get the correct fob, which has to be the correct part, which is eBay or dealer.

Not always.....mobile locksmith i used when i lost a key, had correct fob in his van......iirc he charged me £110 for omega key and then £100 for veccy key. He also deleted all other pairings (which the omega had a few for some reason) except for the keys i had :y Not the cheapest way to go about it......but the easiest for me :y
