As title really, anyone have any good or bad reports? They charge £45 as opposed to £60+VAT for a local garage or...... well I didn't even bother ringing the main dealer.

Figure I'll use it as the main key for a few weeks to prove the reliability, then reserve it for spare.

I've used a local key pace a couple of times, once for a Vauxhall, once for our Vespa. No problems at all with either, although £45 seems a bit steep to me, it's been about £25-£30 both times for me. Although I guess it could depend on the manufacturer.

They just copy the immobiliser code of your key and load it into the new one. Had to wait for the blank to be ordered for the Vespa though

TBH you're better using the copy and keeping the OE one safe, I think!
