As per the thread title - anyone have any recent / decent recommendations for someone around the Surrey / Hants / Berkshire border area who can cut & program a car key & fob?

I've managed to source a brand new genuine Ford fob with internals & a blank key blade for far less than Ford want to charge (nearly £200 before you even account for the programming fee) but will need to get it coded / cut to keep as a spare.

It's for a Mk1 Focus that already has the original main working fob with blade as well as the chipset master key, but ideally getting the new 2nd fob / key coded as a backup.

Very good but you may be slightly out of his area, worth a try though smile

Cheers for that smile - 3 Mile Cross isn't that far away from me tbh so would probably be OK.

Will give him a call after the Bank Holiday once the car's back with me thumbup

I used Timpsons for a TVR (Vauxhall) replacement key.
Depends who is running the outlet but I was advised that the fella at Tesco's at the Meadows was good and he did it eventually on third attempt but all at his cost for the standard key which I think was £54 if I remember correctly (December 2017).
He tests it before you leave, electronically and you obviously test it before leaving the car park😜

What does the Vauxhall/TVR key look like? There may be an even cheaper way for you lot to get a replacement key if it is what I think it is
