Snapped my only car key today inside my lock so cannot start my car.

How would I go about getting a new 1 and how much?

Unless you can get a copy made, it's going to be expensive because you need to get all locks including ignition changed.

All depends if you can get a copy made.

probarbly looking at a new lock set mate, unless you have the lock code then you should be able to go to the dealer and get a new key sorted. only bad point is that if you change the locks and the key the key and ecu may have to be recoded

instead of getting new locks, you could just delock the doors and get a keyfob (if you have money to spare on a decent mod)
