Timpsons and the Cost of Car Key Cutting

I remember back when I had a Mk1 Ford Focus modifying a Jaguar X-Type to work on it. They have the same key blade so just a case of cutting the plastic off the Focus key and fitting it into the nice Jag flip key. Looked nicer than the Ford key.

Would make sense as the X-Type was a badge engineered Mondeo.

I had bought a blank Ebay key and transferred the electronic bits across into it, so just needed the blade cutting to match the old key.

The Timpsons guy wouldn't cut my blank as they hadn't supplied it. Company policy i was told.

So I asked how much for a blank key from them that they would cut. They couldn't get hold of the blanks...

Still wouldn't cut my key

I had the same with my Lexus key
