if u can get your boot open there is a code stamped on the rear lock so u can order a newset

i can get in the drivers door because thats a diffrent lock than the rest and i have a spare for that one so i can get the boot open.

Where do i order a new set from??
someone else said a vauxhall garage but i dont think there is one around here so is there anywhere else?

any key cutting place *SHOULD* be able to cut you a key if they advertise they do car keys, and also if they can translate the number you give them in to which key you need.

at the key cutters though you get horrible silver keys with no black bit on - i had these on my old car until it was delocked and all i needed was the original ignition key!!!

best place REALLY is to goto vauxhall.

you *MAY* need to take proof of ID and proof of ownership (v5)

that may be incorrect but the reason i say that was i was in there the other day and a guy wanted a code for the radio he had just bought and he had to prove he ent just knicked it etc etc, i would have though same applies to keys?

you don't have to have a plain silver key.... i have a late spec vauxhall key with the led light in the key... cut from a boot lock code at a lock shop in manchester
