Rich  - Ivor Turbo also said that Timpsons can cut it for free but I really dont get why. I have a Timpsons in my home town of Kingston-upon-Thames but I want to do my homework why they should cut for free. Please can you explain so I look plausible in the shop and dont get laughed & ridiculed!!!

Just be carefull with Timpsons, they have buggered two blades I have provided in the past on seperate occasions - the first time I thought fair enough as it was an ebay blade but on the second occasion it was a genuine blade, they managed to totally cut through the center of the blanks. Now I don't know if this was opperator error, machine out of caliberation or just sour grapes on the part of the shop worker :undecided:

There was a seller on Ebay a few months back selling new key bottoms with virgin transponders :afro:

Just avoid the ones that say "new blade fitted" as they might have been coded before  :wink:

If you just need a blade there is also a seller doing blades cut to your key profile from a digital photo of your original key  :shocked: - and yes it does work :afro:

They did mine for free - they said if i dont buy the blank from them and supply it myself they cant charge me anything.

That was in torquay so who knows if they are all the same  :undecided:

Doesn't state it on the vagproducts website but it'll likely be a 433 Mhz unit, same as we received.  It's sadly not right for our vehicle (which is 434)   :cry:
Be patient and good luck!
