i got a key off ebay and had it cut to save money in total cost me about 16 quid, but i can't work out how to [programme it to the car its a right pain the the arse, i think from reno it something silly like 50 quid thats why i went down the cheapy method that didn't pay off... i still only have on key. thats why the key is tied to my arm with a bit of string so il NEVAH loose it 
btw if anyone knows how to get the key programmed any info would be much appreciated

think im gonna stick with just one key then, when i brought the key off ebay, i won a bid for about 8pound ish then had the key cut, the key came with a sheet of paper which had programming instructions on, it was something like turn the key in the door x amount of times then do this that etc, didn't work thou..

I've got to fork out for two keys at once! Car is currently with Renault awaiting delivery of the keys from France. Thanks god for warrantees!

Around £130-140 with key blade, blip, immobiliser and programming. Its delivered from France so should be with you between 1 and 2weeks. Bear in mind, if the locks have been changed by you or a previous owner, you will need them changed again. Not cheap iirc. So its worth getting if you have only one key.
Ring around quite a few dealers tho as prices vary drastically dealer to dealer.

I rung a few garages and was told only Renault can do the key programming. Needs some certain software or something, not even alL Renault garages have the software for a mk2 ph1!
Correct. I paid something stupid recently for a new key and the coding. BUT can't take the risk of not having a spare..
?
+1 i would like to know this!
i imagine, the code (programme) and the cut sequence is stored on a hard disk somewhere by robbin' t***s :quiet: i mean Renault!

Yes. The key needs to be programmed to disable the immobiliser (this might well be cheaper than getting the plip programmed).
Beaten to it. damnit Daz :rasp:

i have insured my one set of car keys. It costs £12 a year and its called a boomerang tag, which has a code on it, So basically if you loose them (or any other keys on the keyring aslong as they are registered), you phone the number and they give you a replacement for free sorted!
"

the keys for a ph2 are off the shelf and the blade comes from france normally take 3 days at the most. and key programming is renault only for ph1 and ph2 and you can use keys off ebay. ph1 are ordered to a key number
Hi Guys,
Picking up an old thread here but my 172 ph2 only came with one key, foolishly I bartered £50.00 off the car for this, when I rung Renault £120 plus programming! WFT!
So I looked on Ebay and have bought a second hand key just to see what can be done. I have also found a device that will read my existing key's Transponder and is able to reprogramme / clone another key, still i've spent less than £120.00, i'm hoping this will do it! The alternative is getting Renault to reprogramme an old key, does anyone know if they can do this? If so then I will have spent £46.00 in total if Renault charge me £40.00, otherwise I will try and get the recoder.
Surely if this was possible, i.e. getting old keys reprogrammed this would be a great money saver? The new uncut blade for the second hand key was £3.00 and the key £3.00. A friend of mine has access to the Renault Clip thingy where he works but you need a code to put into the Clip to get it to reprogramme the immobiliser ring, it's all a bit complicated, but I guess I'm hoping to unearth a way to not have to pay £140+ for a new spare key!
Anyone know any more about this sort of thing?
