Duplicate Keys?
Discussion
I've ordered a new key from TVR Personal Possessions but unfortunately they don't know when it will be dispatched.
My local Vauxhall dealer wasn't very helpful when I asked to get a copy cut (I'd been told that the key is a Vauxhall one), does anyone know if you can get one cut using the 3 numbers stamped onto the blade of the key or are these unrelated?
Thanks
Tim

Try these chaps for a new remote... www.alarmremotes.co.uk/index.htm
Had a spare key cut for my Chimaera at a normal key cutting place.
They just copied the original, took about 5 minutes and cost a fiver.
For the Meta fob, you will need a 15(I think) digit code number to get a replacement. This is usually on some sort of red tag, I understand. I didn't have one one of these, and so replaced the alarm instead.

yes, I think the alarm code is in the leather folder at home, might get a couple of those nice all in one key/alarm fobs instead of a new seperate key andalarm fob...never really liked the vxhaul jobbie..
Yep, that's the one I'm waiting for. But at the moment I only have one key!

Okay, to conclude this thread...
I've had 2 spare keys cut at my local Timpsons (Shoe repairs and key cutting), at the grand cost of £10.50 for the pair, you can get just one for £7.50, steep but not as costly as some options.
It is such a shame IMHO that TVR build such a fantastic car as the Chimaera 500 and then give you a key to be embarrassed buy, kind of reminds me of those 'Ashamed of your mobile' adverts .
Does anyone on here have access to a foundry and we can start making some 'tasteful' blanks? Even my Nissan 300 comes with a Titanium key with 300zx embossed in it.

I had one cut at a local keycutting place a few weeks ago for a few quid.
I've had a spare fob for a year without being able to program it to the car...
What make of Alarm is it?

It's a Meta. I've had three different sets of instructions to program the fob to the car, so I want someone else to do it ...
