hello ,

My mothers 2001 Fiat Punto only has 1 key , i want to get her a spare but Fiat dealers want over £130 +vat for the key, and they say up to 6 weeks delivery.This is a ripoff!

i have looked on EBAY and spoken to several automotive locksmiths but no success

where can i get a key for a sensible cost?

You'll find the cost includes reprogramming both the new and old key to the car. We misplaced our spare and I got quoted the cost of the key, keycard and the time to reprogramme. But I think it was something like £70-80 all in inc VAT.

a dealer near me used to give free chipped keys away and free balloons to any customer that came in,strange thing is he had lots of customers but he went bankrupt.

Look in your "yellow pages";many locksmiths claim to be able to re-programme.
