Guest stevebm1 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 hi,does anyone know if vauxhall astra keys have transponders in on an "r" plate astra.I just looked at one for my wife,which seems a good car,but the guy only has one key,and i will need to get a spare cut.Is this just a mister minit job or will it cost Quote
bigdaddy Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Don't know about an R reg but the V reg as got them, open the key and find out Quote
Guest M5DSH Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Hi my wife had an R reg corsa sport, that had a transponder in key,but mister minit cut & coded ours for us Quote
Masked Marauder Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Yes it will have transponder keys, so you will be looking at up to Quote
steve67car Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 all cars that are uk spec 96 on are transponder based but some are not insurance approved as most manufacturers will not or did not pay to have them thatchem approved and evaluated :ph34r: tight ass manufacturers :unsure: :angry: Quote
Topbloke Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 normal way of telling with a vauxhall is to look at the rubber seal around the ing barrel if its got one and has a white dot on it it has an immobliser fitted another way is to wrap the key handle in silver foil mr kipling cake base is good if engine managment light flashes then its got an immobiliser Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 ... wrap the key handle in silver foil - mr kipling cake base is good - if engine managment light flashes then its got an immobiliser Perish the thought of how someone discovered this ...... :) Why would Mr Kipling want to fit an immobiliser to his exceedingly good cakes ?

Guest stevebm1 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Posted July 16, 2005 update,key had a transponder,guy knocked Quote
Masked Marauder Posted July 16, 2005 Report Posted July 16, 2005 As long as you are happy that no one is going to have access to the car with one of the missing keys chap.... Quote
Guest stevebm1 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Posted July 17, 2005 yeah,thought of that,the guy i bought from was a pensioner,plus it will be insured Quote
