I don't have a spare key I think I might buy a flip off eBay

Had the same issue with my first Vectra. Spare key worked fine, but other one did what your's is doing. Got a replacement from VX which sorted it.

My advice would be to not get a flip off ebay fella, not until you have sorted out your existing key first.

How come pal me mates got of com an I got me car pass can't I buy a flip key a just program it to mine

Ring a few VX dealers and play them against each other, as price for repl key varies between dealers. Expect to pay between £100 and £150

BUT.... Need to be sure it is the key that is faulty first. Maybe get the codes read first?

If you have access to that software AND you know what you're doing, try re-programming your current key
