My key was lost it came away from the 3 button fob i still have the fob but that is my only key is there any way that a new key can be created i dont have the code card it is a vectra 03 plate.
On top of all that recovery service damaged the underneath of car and is now flooding oil

all i did was take the kids out for the day and ended up a bad day

If you ring vauxhall you can pay for the key code etc

As above your local dealer parts dept will need to order you a new car pass and key then program it to your car.

A new key or just the blade can be cut from the code but, as above, you'll need the key code from the carpass. You'll need to take the v5 document and id with your address (driving licence) to the dealers for the carpass, which usually costs around £20 and takes around 3-7 days, but they may give you the key code sooner if you explain your situation.
If your fob still works you can get the key blade alone.

Great thanks for info...
im guessing getting the keycode ordered is a lot cheaper than having someone round to take out barrel and create a key from that.
Yes the fob works ok a bit worn but all works im pleased with that as i know they cost a fortune.

Not sure but I wouldn't have thought so. Can you claim of the recovery people for the damage?

It seems the immodiliser is in the arch of the blade that clips into the fob grrrrrrr and vauxhall no longer sell these i have to get a complete new key and fob and get it programmed...
I was told to call the recovery office on monday to sort it i hope it wont cost me anything.

I don't think the vec has a key with the chip in the blade. On my old-style-pre-facelift key there used to be a separate chip in the fob case (small black plastic rectangle), but that was replaced by one built into the circuit board when the key was reprogrammed. The newer style flip keys also have the chip built into the circuit board iirc.

It seems on my stile key there is a plastic arch at top of blade that holds the immobiliser and that part clips into the fob but this type is discontinued i wander why.......maybe cause they fall apart
