I had both sets of my Chimaera keys stolen during a burglary last night. The car is in a locked garage, so OK for the moment.
Any ideas how to go about replacing both sets of keys and the meta alarm?
I have the owners handbook with the vehicle details including Ignition key no and Remote Key fob no. and a little pack with meta info in.
Based near Huddersfield.
Thanks for any advice.
Tom

Dave Fairclough - HF Solutions is very helpful - and as resident in the UK, probably the most 'available'.

Just be aware that the alarm/immobiliser will only accept a finite number of key/Dallas fob changes (6, I think). If you are claiming from your house insurance then make them aware that the claim may involve a renewal of the Meta alarm units. Arguably, this might be more cost effective than changing ignition and door (if you have them) lock cylinders.

The upside is that Dave, I believe can address the wiring swap that TVR made at build - swapping the starter feed to the low power mini-relay in the Meta unit. Dave also happens to own a Chimaera...so knows them pretty well!

Sorry to read about the crime.
Is it easy for you to chain and padlock your garage door (internally preferably) ?
As you will know, the average security of garage doors is very poor.
