Vauxhall  Phone & ask how much for a car pass, they vary in price from £20-odd

Any idea what information VX need before issuing.

V5 for ID of your car & a utility bill / etc with your name on it

Agree with Andy B. Ring dealer first to find out what they need, usually just V5 is enough, but can vary.

For this, you should get:
Car's PIN (Immobiliser etc)
Radio code
CD Changer code (if applicable)
Mechanical key number

Note, you do NOT get alloy locking nut key

Thanks guys.

Actually a result....dealer charged £16=50 + vat for car pass and for a fully programmed new flip key an extra £68 + vat so cheaper than standard Auto lock smith and all will be ready on Monday..car then needs few minutes chat with electronic programmer and job done

Sounds very reasonable. I paid the thick end of £200 for another key for her Smart!

I have a nagging doubt that a disappointment will come on Monday, but please do keep us all informed . I suspect many will be interested in the PN if it works
