try the dealers they can make you new keys but both will need to have the keys programmed for each car

do the dealers have a copy of each cars blade though?

if not you may have to get an auto locksmith in to replace the barells or do it yourself.

yeah thought there might be some sort of copy on the system or something but then thought would they really store millions of files with every vw cars different blade  :undecided:

as said though, no harm in ringing up and asking

Dealer should be able to order you a key or keys in, you'll need your log book and I.d, and theyll have to be ordered to chassis number, (presuming this has never had a Lockset before), land rover ones usually take between 5-10days to come in. Also as already mentioned they'll prob need programming to the car. Shop around for that though dealer won't be cheap spesh as you'll need to recover it to them try a mobile technician or auto electrician

To order Peugeot keys, you must have the passport card that comes with the service pack, looks like a credit card, take it to the dealer, and they should sort it for you, be prepared to be slapped!

Or...just roll up in your VW.  Speak with a German accent and they should give you whatever you demand.

for the price of a key from a dealer, surely its cheaper to get a lockset from somewhere like a scrappies/online??
