My ex broke in to my house a couple of years back and cleared the joint and I mean everything, cops were useless :evil: . Just realised she took the keys for my lude leaving me with one black key, would anyone know if Honda can still sort me out with a copy?

Given the history, I'd be swapping all the locks on the car, else you might find it missing one day...... :scaredtoss:

Still, be little consolation if it got 'stolen' and damaged.......not even sure your insurance would cover you?

Hi, I recently replaced my mum's 97 Accord key (worn out) with a new one from Honda. It had the transponder in the key. Its cut and programmed from the chassis no. You need to take v5 and proof of address and about £106 IIRC.

Hope this helps.

My neighbour lost his car keys on sunday so ordered a secondhand lock set off ebay and then bought 2 new transponder chips off ebay for a fiver which I recoded for him today. Its an 02 astra by the way.chips came but no locks yet so he has the chip cello taped to a screwdriver for now :lol: So get another key cut buy a transponder chip for it and just get the chip coded locally.
