This sounds good dbug

( Although I'll have to hope I find the right remote, horeshoe and transponder on ebay for that!)

I think that if the above is the case for the additional key(s) what bits should I get the Keyman to do for now?

What I mean is, if I get a full or non remote key from this guy will the new remote, horseshoe and transponder render it a dud?

Sorry for all the questions..  :-\ :-\

Thought I'd update this post. Cost me £140 for a new key including car pass but the car was recovered OK and the new key works great.

The old key did turn up too - in the corner under a pile of leaves and was handed into security a week later!! But it was mangled and although the key guy coded it to the car again the microswitches etc.. are now flaky and I'm not about to pay £80 for another key again! If it is repairable is anyone up for the challenge?! I'd really like another key to prevent this from every happening again..

On top of this, despite her fuel economy I really like the old bus so will also be looking for a few bits to freshen her up and make good for the year ahead!

Thanks for the help on this thread too!

Tell your Stepmum to get a taxi next time then it probably won't! ;D ;D ;)
I'm glad you got it sorted in the end without it costing a Kings Ransome  :y
