Rover 200
1 Answers
Hi, I have a R reg (1996?) Rover 220. I only bought it about a year ago, at which time it only had one key & fob (the immobilizer thingy). Its always been a slight worry that i might loose the key, but I'm normally not the sort of person to loose stuff. However, I left my keys at work yesterday, after getting a lift in, which was really incovienient today when I couldn't get to work.
I'm sure some companies somewhere will be selling spare keys & fob sets, does anyone know who and if so, how much its likely to cost. I hadn't bothered because i figured it would be too expensive, but I'm thinking now that it might be worth it.
Cheers, James

The remotes cost about �30 and have to be coded by a diagnostic machine (probably at extra charge).
You could just go for cutting a new spare key and asking a Rover garage (there are still a few around) to look up the cars "key access" number, this allows you to de-immobilise the car using only the key. So you can use the remote you have and use the Key only technique in an emergency.
