Just got all the paperwork for the car and there is no key card code present

Thanks for the reply coastline taxis, where would i find the key code?

Hi, I am looking for a bit of advice, I have just bought a 2009 Citroën c4 1.6hdi air dream hatch back which has only come with one key. The key that is supplied works the remote locking etc. I would like to get a spare key that will open the door and start the engine but not bothered about the remote locking side of things. Having spoke to some friends, I have had conflicting information below: - 1) Take current key to auto locksmith and they will clone it. 2) You can only get a spare key from a Citroen dealer. Am I able to just get my current key "cloned" or do I have to get a new one direct from Citroen? Secondly, the car came with service history i.e. stamped service book but no receipts so I am unsure of whether the timing belt has been changed. I want to get the timing belt and water pump changed, what would I expect to pay at an independent garage? My local garage quoted me £ 280 but he also quoted me at the same time £ 280 for a 2009 1.1 fiat panda which I know can be done for under £ 200 he didn't even go away to work out a price just quoted the 2 figures out of thin air when I asked for a price. So any guide price you can give me will be most welcome. Thanks Lee

Thanks for the reply. Having checked the battery the garage put the wrong size battery on so I have had that changed. It appears to be starting better but I wont know for sure until the temp drops a bit more. Where does the earth connect to the body? I don't appear to see where it connects? Engine oil looks black, so I will replace that. I am not sure that last time the spark plugs have been changed so I will do that (ive only had it a few months) Looking at the manual it appears that you need to take the coils off to change the plugs, is it worth changing the coils and leads while I am doing the spark plugs?

Hi i am having problems with starting my xsara picasso when the engin is cold. The engin turns over very slowly like the battery is flat but usually starts after a few attemps. However now that the temperature has dropped it would not start at all. I purchased a new battery and the results are the same. but once it has started i can turn the engin off and back on again and it starts no problem? Has any one got any idea what could be causing the problem? Thanks
