make sure the blade comes with transponder - the ones I sell do, but worth checking.

Not directly - I 'stock' them for when I program keys etc, if people want spare keys.

So was it a case of one key only?

Could try an Ebay fob

There appear to be 3 different type of these.  >:( At that price, probably makes more sense to buy the correct one new from the dealer. If you do buy from e-bay ensure it's the right one.  ::)

they want £45 for a new fob, they are only 27.55 from vauxhall dealers, cheaper to go to the main dealer
