    Sorry...another timing chain question!!

    I own a 2nd hand 53 plate 1.0E currently at 20K mileage. The model should be a high risk model according to various forum and the bad feedbacks, actually, make me keep thinking of trading-in the car for other brands.

    Replacement Key - Programming cost

You can try to get a used key (used remote but new blade) from ebay and book a visit to the dealer to program the key. That should be cheapest. A...
