Managed to lose the only set of keys to my new S1. Just phoned B&C and they have said that I need a new alarm as I only had 1 alarm fob. He then went on to say that they tried to get one from Lotus the other day and they have none left.
Anyone got any ideas.........
Apart from the obvious, don't get pissed and drop them out of your pocket in the first place.

Unfortunately my S1 only came with one set of keys and the set that I have does not include the alarm keyfob!
Most of the people I have spoken to have said it is possible to purchase another keyfob and have it programed ... However you need to know the code for your alarm system, which might be written down in the documentation that came with the car. If not, you need to contact Lotus with your chassis number and they can tell you what it is. This information costs £20 and the reprograming itself can cost up to £100!
I came to an agreement with one dealership that it is probably best to purchase and fit a third party alarm system. Supposedly the one fitted as standard into the S1 is very unreliable!
