The key will have an inbuilt immobiliser chip. Go to your local Timpsons and they will cut you a spare key and programme the chip to suit.
About £40 it will cost  :smiley:

early pre 94 keys are as you said "just standard keys" and any where can do them

later chipped keys can be done by most decent key cutters for under £30 coded
