Can't remember whether your car is a Euro or USA version but watch out, the key fobs can be completely different (and incompatible). I think you will need to deal with someone who knows what they're doing which may well mean Stratstone or Bauer Millett. Others may have more suggestions.

I think the price is around £100. Can't comment on delivery time.

The keys have a code between 1-10 then thay need to be cut thats not a problem any late GM blank will do. The fob if euro spec can be between 100-150 plus you need to programme and have a tech 2. Bauer millet/Stratstone maybe Claremont.

Thanks for you help fella's most appreciated .I will try all the above tomorrow.

Just an up-date.I managed to get a new coded key today from Claremont Corvette.The key was £35,and i got a reconditioned key fob for £70.I got talking to the owner(well i think he was the owner)Tom Falconer.Nice fella,and really seemed to know his stuff on Vettes.I even found out that Al Melling(AJP8)guru was a customer.I got talking about servicing,and his prices seemed very resonable £250-£300.I have a bit of a dilema now as most on here have recommended Ian Goss.Although Mr Goss is nearer.Claremont is easier to get to.Im stuck on that one.

Goss is the man. Even if he was the other side of the UK I would still spend the time in travelling just to make sure he worked on my car as indeed he has several times recently....

Nothing wrong with Claremont though, my first vette came via their company.

Btw - is anyone here coming to the Vette Lunch this Sunday (2nd December 2007) at the Fairmaile in Cobham?
