Anyone know if you can replacement Alarm fob's for the above and also a replacement manual immobiliser 'key'?

I can't find a number for Cobra UK anywhere.

Or do you have to go through Lotus?

The keyfobs come up on eBay occasionally

The Cobra global site:
www.cobra.it/Default.htm

On their contacts page they list under "Great Britain":
www.vestatec.co.uk/

If you get anything from them, I need to replace the case on my immobiliser so please update the thread later

Good luck

Could this help you out...

eBay Item #7932178066

It states that you are able to reprogram the key fob for your alarm, it may help you out?

Yep, there are details in the handbook on how to reprogram the fob. It is a combination of pressing buttons on the keyfob with the other key sticky thing inserted, takes about 10 seconds, lots of details about flashing lights!? - I can find the details if you need them

Cheers fella's - PH to the rescue again. Will try to nab that one off ebay. If not I've been quoted £44 for a new one and £22 for a barrel touch key. Then £25 labour to reprogram both and delete the old key via an engineers code.

Anyone know anything about cobra car alarms and if this is worth doing or if you can just rely on the method noted in the handbook?

Cheers again
Tim

Programming the keyfobs is covered in the manual - it should take 10 seconds per keyfob... don't pay for that.

Touch-key.... I have no idea, almost certain that that would be a specialist job

Just had and solved the problem. You can buy key fobs new or S/H and programme as the manual. But you need the touch key that came with the car to do so. If you havent got one of those you can buy new and have them programmed but beware you need to use a piece of software called something like "winjolly". I believe that Brooke Kensington www.brooke-kensington.co.uk have one and also Kelvedon Motors in Lincolnshire (01775 725457) have one as they did mine - but they do need the car to do it. Hope this helps.
