Come to take advantage of this weather but after 2 days of looking I'm positive I've lost my keys and immobiliser fob for my MK1 Tuscan, anyone been through this before?
Guessing I need a new barrel and keys and Immobiliser and fobs....
Any idea on price and effort to get this sorted?

My car is in storage with no way to toe it out..

Any suggestions would be great

Give these guys a call.

They recoded my alarm after both my fobs broke. They also supplied new key case (minus the metal key part). I needed to pull out the M99 alarm unit and post it off to them. Received it back a couple of days later.

Might cost a bit more because you'll need new immobiliser keys.

I guess then all you need it a new ignition barrel.

Thanks, I've spoken to both abacus and Carl baker (http://www.tvruk.tv) and say I need to send my M99 alarm module away for re coding for this and supplying 2 new fobs its about £120.

Next challenge is replacing the ignition barrel, RG and power both sell these but I would guess they aren't easy to replace, anyone have any ideas? I've got to do it tomorrow as I need to move the car frown

There's a pin to release the ignition barrel but the key needs to be in and turned for the release to work so I guess your going to have to break it to get it out? The column is from a Vectra B.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll speak with Carl tomorrow he seems very helpful knowledgable, looking to get this all fixed tomorrow for under £250, a lot better than my initial thoughts
