Hi, i have bought a Skoda Octavia with only one key. I have had quotes from the dealer of £160. Can anyone recommend where i can get a second key for a more sensible price please? Cheers Strangey

I had the same problem 2 years ago. I bought a key new key from ebay, I have added a link but you will need to make sure it matches your key but if you keep your eyes out you maybe able to find on cheaper.

At the same time I had a new key cut by http://www.keysinthepost.com/ who will cut you a new key blade from a photo, I think it was £10 delivered.

Ben at Shark Performance coded the key to the immobiliser, you will have to ring for a current price but I think it was £30, he also deactivated the lost key so it would not work on the car in the future, just incase someone found it again!

Total cost £80

If you have you car mapped then you could get you key done at the same time and save yourself a journey.

Just buy a new one from eBay like has been suggested and then to to an independent key cutting show to get it cut and most can program them into the immobiliser. There's a van that parks out side the local B&Q everyday called Mr key and he has done a few of mine without any problems. These guys are everywhere.

I wouldn't get a key cut from a photo as the chances of it being wrong are quite high.
