Is it a newish Vauxhall? You may be able to order some new keys through Vauxhall if so (and you have the Key number etc in the manuals), but they are not going to show up anytime soon. Otherwise I suspect you may have to replace all the locks - Ouch!

Don't Vauxhall cut to the chassis number? Worth a try.

Just rung them!!!

if i have the security card they can re-order me one but it depends if it has the imobilizer built in - i know the later ones do but i am not sure.

it is not a remote central locking but just put the key in and open type.

either way i can see it costing me at least £50
