Purely for info... DUPLICATE KEYS was created by gusthegorilla
Questions on keys pop up on here from time to time, so just for information, I thought I'd post a few lines on the subject of duplicates....
.... recently I acquired yet another Jimny, which, sadly, came with only one key...not the remote version.
Took it to Timpsons this afternoon...two options are available, one which requires the car to be present (£69), and one which doesn't (£59).
Fortunately for me, mine was the latter !!
Whilst I was in the shop, I enquired about the availability of a replacement remote key.
Most cities have at least one branch which can do this, the procedure does require the car to be present, but, contrary to popular belief, the process is NOT limited to Suzuki main dealers...
...the chip/ transponder usually has to be ordered, then programmed to the car in question....
....and this is the best bit...at approximately half the cost of a dealer replacement !!
Just saying......!!!!!!
