I only have the one key for my Tamora and I am worrying about the havoc it would cause if I lost it. So what roughly will it cost me to have a spare key made up and who would you recommend? Thanks in advance guys

The key shank is Ford and the fob is Meta. Karl Baker at Car and Bike can re-program (and supply fob) for you but IIRC he will need the alarm box and your other key as you can't add a key only re-program new 'sets' of keys. Give him a call and ask him he is a sound bloke who knows his Meta/TVR stuff inside out.

I think Raceproved are Meta agents too as an alternative.

Or, you could code the key to the alarm yourself: taken from the Meta programming guide:

1 Arm and disarm the alarm sixteen times or until the alarm stops responding, alarm now in program mode.....
2 Once in program mode press the button of the new remotes(s), press the button of the original remote(s). This must be done within 8 seconds of each action. If 8 seconds pass without any actions the alarm will automatically exit programming mode and you will have to start from step 1.
3 Wait 8 seconds to exit learning mode.
4 Test remotes.

Job done!
