where to get key cut and coded?

[HR-81]

Hi,
there may have been other posts about this but couldn't see any that weren't quite old. I want to get a spare key for my 182 - i think you can get blanks on ebya and cutting is straight forward, but can anyone recommend where to get it coded, that doesn't cost silly money?

thanks,
Henry

TImpson have done a coded key for the missus' car for about £60, but I'm not sure if the Clios work on a similar system - could be worth ringing them to check / popping in.

was that a completely new key, or was it a new case and blade using the old internals (transponder etc).

I've looked on their website and it only shows an option for cutting classic car keys. I didn't know they involved in coding new keys.

Timpson charge £120 to supply and cut a 172/182 key. You can buy key blanks for £10 on eBay and I've found independent shops who will cut and code for £50.

Completely new key!
