The Key

[Andy52]

Hi   Am I  glad  you all are  here,   we  all  make  mistakes,   hear,s    mine  lost   my   car  key  and  have  not got  a spare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!or  I  should  say   key  dropped  on  floor    only to  be  picked  up  100ft  from my  home  by  a  young  man
I think   99%   as  no one  else   would  keep it.  Any way  my  question is  what's the  best  and  cheapest  way  of  getting  a  new  key  please???,  and  yes  after this  |I  will  get  a  spare   key.

It  does  not help  I  live  in Norfolk   near  Norwich.



Regards

Andy

Key blades are very easy to get made just about anywhere, as long as you have access to the original. Typically, a digital photo of the original blade is sufficient for online suppliers to cut you a new one. If you go to a local keysmith or motor factor they can cut a new one using the existing blade as a template. If you don't have the original key I suspect you will need to go to a Citroën dealer to get one cut.

However, the really expensive bit is the transponder in the key fob. If you don't have the transponder, and it is needed for starting the car, getting it replaced might cost a few hundred quid. Here is my wee transponder story:

Easiest way is to call an auto locksmith, there will be loads in your area, just google them .
Will likely cost @£150 for two keys .
He will be at your car for a few mins & will do you a spare at the same time.
Just ring a couple & get a few quotes.
