Advice Needed Please

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

If you have the key code then just go to the dealers for the key. Will cost u around £30/ As for timing belt then £280 is a very fair price
