Where to get replacement key?
Hello all,
Could someone recommend somewhere to get a replacement key (three button key & fob) for my E85 please? (Other than the local stealer)
Had a look on Google, but it's a bit difficult to know who to trust. Some say that you can programme the blank key yourself? Is this true?
Thanks!

He even does a Bently style flip key for sensible money.

And also a non remote key for about £10, great for giving to garages and waterproof so great on the beach.
If you're not in London you can post your GM5 to Ben

The module responsible for central locking. If you are not in London you can post it off and it will come back with a key coded to your car that would just need cutting.csquire4 wrote:Sorry for stupid question, what's a GM5?

Ah, I'm after the same and didn't realise I could send off the GM5 instead of driving down to see them.

Give Ben a call - just make sure you get consequential loss on the postage!

So with just the GM5 he'll be able to supply a remote key that's already cut for my car or will I need to get it cut when I get it back?
