Any advice would be great
Sorry for the length of the above post as it looks like a lot of reading now that it is posted...
I can vouch for Both my keys as we have had them both from new but although both keys open the doors, only the "plick" key can start it.
The "spare" key hasn't worked in the ignition for the last year or so and the other is now completely knackered (04 plate 113,000 miles) with missing buttons and broken microswitches removing any remote functions. Even this one is somehow stiffening up in the ignition which is how the spare started its slide into disrepair and non functioning!
I was quoted a cut price for a newly programmed remote key but it was still over 100 pounds so I put the cash towards a new car! Just hope the old key starts the old car till the new one is here!
