Hey all, hoping someone can confirm that the key in this link is the correct replacement. Need to replace the one i lost but VX's £150 is a bit much!

Monaro Key

So i would need to get the blade cut and then follow the programming instructions given elsewhere on the forums, would that be correct?

In theory yes, altho the programming bit can be a bit hit and miss, some have had success, others haven't.

Yep, that's the one. If you take it to monkfish they may be able to program it for you if you're getting some stuff done thumbup

I lost a key and got Walkinshaws to do this for me. Crapped myself when I got the bill though - £160, and the blade wasn't cut either so that makes VX a better price IF they do the whole job for you.

Well i've just ordered it so i guess i'll find out soon enough whether the programming guide works for me or not.

Unfortunately being in Aberdeen i can't just pop down to monkfish frown

I'll update how i get on once i've received it.

Should work fine, i got a new key from Vauxhall, they then said it would cost around £50 to programme, so did a bit of searching on the net and found the procedure (which is now posted in the FAQ) and it worked first time for me biggrin

I have done self programming on Monaros 3 times now, takes about 30 mins (3 x 10 min waits) so good luck
