Replacement key

**Matt_Bankier** · 22nd December 2010, 20:32

I have had my 2008 vectra elite for exactly 1 week now, but i am in need of buying a replacement key as i only have 1 key at the minute. Now my mate at vauxhall has said he could get one fully coded up for about £50.

Before i give him the go ahead, could i do this myself with parts off ebay and using my opcom?

I am guessing i need new fob with internals, and a blank key that will require cutting, then reprogrammed using my opcom?

Thats a really good price if thats a new flip key including coding. That will be trade price as people have been known to pay upto a £100 just for the key. I got mine for around £45 as im quite friendly with the parts guys.

My advice would be to bite his hand off lol.

You can program a key with OpCom if you have your security number.

Not sure on price of the bits though.

I agree Matt that is a very good price if that is for a key and coding, i payed about £100 for my new key and my m8 coded it for free using his tech 2
