The first set got nicked so I was already down to my last set and now can't find them anywhere
Not sure if they key has a chip. I've got the card from Citroen with the scratch off panel
Also missing is my last remaining alarm fob. It's a Toad ai606 and I have all the paperwork from when it was fitted
The car is locked and armed by the way
Just wondering how to go about getting another key/fob and a rough idea of how much it's all gonna cost?
Cheers, Chris

not gonna be cheap mate , the only place you would get a key and fob from is citroen unless you changed all barrels and locks, as for the toad alarm id contact toad direct and explain the situation and what they can do . oll

gonna keep searching in the meantime. i've obviously put them in a "safe" place and forgotten where that is! just had a ring round and asked a few friends/relatives to check their glove boxes. not there though :/

I'm pretty sure you can buy a second hand fob for the toad and have it programmed in as long as you know the alarm code (should be on a wee card) and have a key to turn the ignition.
If you have the install guide it will show you how to do it. There is an option for disabling other fobs and saving the one being used which I think should work with a 2nd hand fob as long as its the same type.

yesssssssssssssssss just f***ing found them down the side of the couch you beauty!
sorry to waste anyone's time and thanks for the helpful posts :y:
i did leave it two days before posting though and looked practically everywhere! turned the house and garage upside down. rang citroen today and got a price on keys - would've been about £110 + vat for one key then about an extra £30 + vat for an additional key. got some prices on fobs aswell, would've been about £30-50 for a pair
and yeah you can use 2nd hand fobs and programme them using the pin code and ignition. i do have the code but now don't need to use it thankfully!
thanks again people
chris :)

i suggest you contact one of these local locksmith companies like http://autokeysquad.co.uk/lost-car-keys.php. They come to your location at the time is the most convenient to you and issue you a new key within minutes. Only costs about 100quit. Would definitely recommend

after 10 months I suspect he sorted it or at least broke into it I very much doubt he will still be waiting for helpful hits now seeing as it was January when he asked for advice
