Getting a new car key

If you want buttons or anything clever like keyless entry or keyless ignition I think you need a dealer one.
Timpsons will do you one that will unlock (the old fashioned way) and start the car for about £60.
Thanks.Timpsons will do you one that will unlock (the old fashioned way) and start the car for about £60.
Just a key with a lock and unlock button, no keyless gubbins.
I heard there was an issue with using an old fashioned key on cars with immobilisers etc. In all honesty, I'd just rather have a 'modern' key.
So far I can only find key 'shells' on eBay - these don't have any of the internals and are apparently to overcome the issue of buttons breaking. I'll keep looking.

To clarify - The £60 Timpsons one includes the programming of a little chip that disables the immobiliser so that part shouldn't be a problem and it will look modern enough, it just won't have any buttons on.
Ok, great.Unless I can find a better option I think that's what I might go for.
