New key cost?

[Bailes1992]

Anyone know how much I should expect to pay for a new key, cut and programmed from the dealer?

Bailes.

dont need to go to a dealer for a spare key some key cutters have the gear to do it

[Bailes1992]

Just ordered a refurb kit of ebay. My Unlock button was loose, started playing with it and now I lose it

Just hope the kefurb kit lets me swap the blade over. Some have the new blade moulded into the key.

I may try the local Peugeot Specialists then just to get a spare key sorted.
I suppose a D8 blank would do the job alright? Just as a spare.

Sam dont pay daft money for keys mate,

next time your up north pop in Key fax


there based in dukinfield not that far from holmefirth if you get up that way,

thats where dealers get there keys made up they only charge £35 if that

[Bailes1992]

Will have to try that place.
I'm more interested in getting a new key at the moment because the lock buttons fallen out of this one.

I've ordered a refurb kit, hopefully the blades swap over as I don't want to be trying to get one cut right now.
I've also bought a second hand 206 key in good condition that uses the same top half, so worse case scenario I just put all the 406 gubbins in the 206 key

£5 for both well spent

The actual microswitch on the PCB, or just the rubber from the cover?

If it's the latter, just get a similar key off ebay and swap the tops. If the PCB is knackered, then either learn your way with a soldering iron then try to repair it yourself, or get used to putting the key in the door and turning it

Just the rubber bit, and thats my plan ;)

I got a 2nd hand good condition key off eBay and just replaced the top cover with the rubber bits, now I have a key that looks brand new without the hassle of having a new blade cut or having it reprogrammed

[moodybluetwo]

The cost of a new key....with remote control....programmed....although I had the program number card I still had to pay £22 for the key number.......was £169.

Buggeration!

Bailes, you can buy the rubber insert from ebay think i pad £3 you just open the key remove the circuit board and pop the button in... or you could do what i did with my dads berlingo.. buy a cheap fob thats meant to just be a fob keep the half you need and aslong as it looks like your key it should work... Dont forget the little black magnet looking thing if you do it that way though cos your car wont start... the berlingo only cost £3.90 to do aswell.

Funnily enough I called in at the dealers earlier to enquire about a new button for my key fob. I was told they couldn't supply just the button I'd have to buy a new key for £131.50 plus VAT, he then said that was just the key, to code it to the car would be extra !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bandaged up my split sides and left still chuckling to myself, ebay here I come
