C4 Replacement Key

[Guest iandow]

The rubber keys on my existing fob have split and I can only open the door now (on the passenger side!!!) with the key. I thought I could buy a new rubber pad to insert into the fob but the dealership have said I have to buy a complete key for around £150! Since I am out of work because of ill health I cannot afford this amount. Car breakers have told me they do not keep such small ancillary items since it is not worth their while. I have considered buyingh on Ebay but from reviews etc I see that many of these aftermarket fobs seem to give lots of problems and I conclude that they are a waste of time and money. Does anyone know where I can get a genuine replacement fob at a sensible price? thanks.

Why not get a cheap rubber "shell" and insert your key into it?

You should be able to buy a fob of dealer for around £45 , if you need Transponder codes or Mechanical codes for cutting keys give me a shout i can get them for £5 just need your vin number , can get Radio codes as well.
