Need a Spare Key/options

[obiter dictum]

Having just purchased a car at Auction, getting back on the road after 4 years. (2003 Micra) Now the car only came with one Key so what are my options??

 

Needed will be a new spare key cut and programned to the central locking, and i take it immobiliser as well

 

Considering main dealers will rip you off with the actual work and cost involved, do i have a choice??

Most market traders stalls do them

It is the programing that will be the issue, not getting the actual key cut incase i lose the original or it snaps

[dx100uk]

not sure what NI 'bootsales' or airport open air stuff markets are like

but over here

I got a new key and got it progg'd for micra

that was 2012 and it was a 2005 car

 

 

all he needed was the one we had.

 

 

walked back to the car

it worked

I will look into that. Many thanks

Not going to tell you why or how on a public forum but you need a blank with a chip cut and programmed. You canusually find and get the blanks cut easily but to programming might well need to got to a main dealer.

main dealer charge me £20.00 to programme the key I bought

Went to main dealer and was quoted £220 which includes fob and cut

 

Went to my local locksmith who said he could cut and enable to start the car for £50.00 as a spare. But it will not operate central locking but open the doors manually with the key. He said would take abut 20 minutes
