if you cant get another key that way, some garages have special tools for 'breaking into' your car and then they can change the barrels and supply new keys.

That reminds me still need to get my immobiliser chip copied

Shit! The only thing is even if you can get the door open you still arent going to be able to drive it away or move it very far I'd just give vaux a call first thing tomorrow mate and see what they say.

£20 for key number, £30 for a new key. May need programming and would take a couple of days to get a key.
