Where's the cheapest place to get a new MINI key?

After 13 years of use, the key which operates the central locking system on my MINI One (2001 modeo) no longer works. The whole button has collapsed. Where can I get a new and affordable replacement?

Try a branch of Timpsons in the High Street, side street
or in a Shopping Mall.

No joy there, links to keys and locksmiths in this directory:

The first two on the list apparently give very good, very
fast and very
cheap service.
