My daughter has just bought a 1999 1.0 Micra, which came with only one set of keys. Can anyone suggest where (in the Manchester area) she could get an additional key at the lowest possible cost?
I have had a look on eBay and to my surprise no one seems to offer a key cutting service that undercuts (pardon the pun) the main agents. The car is equipped with an immobiliser and I imagine that this compicates matters, but I would have thought it possible to provide generic keys that would work.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Seasons greetings to all BR's

a decent shoerepairer might be able to help but im thinking the micra key is un clonable but by all means ask.
there is a big chain that i highly unrecommend they have many sons.
try for an independant one, they usually tell the truth and not through a forked tongue.

Look at "technical matters" page 5-Rover 620 and three addresses are given.

Many thanks for the info, I have located a local agent in the Stockport area from one of the web addresses given. These keys cost about £30 for a Micra and whilst this is not as cheap as I would like, it is a lot cheaper than some cars / manufacturers.
All the best.

I have a 98 Micra and I think the immobiliser is separate and has nothing to do with the keys.

Its a NATS transponder key system.
Even if its a remote fob theres a transponder chip inside that for the immobiliser.

I had a recent experience with a Daihatsu. Tried all the key cutting services with no sucess.
Had to use the main agent to get the car's security system re-programmed to accept the duplicate key
Expensive but no other way apparently

chip in key costs £6.00 aprox
unchipped key cut £5.00 approx
would chip put on key ring start the car with unchipped key ?
