replacement key

[ScottC25]

I'm a noob on here but I Have tried a search of the forum but when I search "replacement key" it brings me up discussions about paint and all kinds of other stuff nothing to do with keys!
Just bought a 197 and need a replacement key, some on ebay for £30ish, can anyone point me in the direction of someone/where they can be recoded that avoids giving a dealer £200+

Thanks

Scott

I’m afraid the dealer is the only place authorised who can code them as far as I am aware.

"ONLY" !!!!!!
Ouch, no car is a 56 plate so out of warranty, tbh I think we got a pretty good deal on it so will just have to suck it up and pay for a new key!

Drives like a dream though, the engine noise is fantastic really enjoyed the run home and I'm not usually keen on small cars...
