think you might need log book and some decent ID not sure about anything else, but just call there parts department before you go down and see what they require

I hope so luckily becaue its a p reg the key isnt coded or anything i think as it has a keypad immobiliser has anyone a rough idea how much a key will cost?

just found this info on here

Getting a New Key

If you go to a Citroen dealer you will need:
- Registration Document (V5)
- Proof of identity (photocard)
- Proof of address that must match address on the Registration Document
- The key number (see picture below)

What can I do if I don’t have a key number?
You can have your Citroen dealer email Citroen to do a key search from your VIN number on the Registration Document. I was told this costs £15.

How much does it cost?

I had the key number and Citroen quoted:

£34.33 for replacement key (+£15 without key number)
£69.50 for a replacement remote control keyfob
£46.58 for half an hour of labour for programming

all this was found here

my key wont need programming will it?

Yes it will. Also worth noting is that if your car has had a new lock set since new then the Citroen keys will not work and you still have to pay for them.

Better to get a second hand lock set with ecu and barrels and break in and replce. Will be cheaper and quicker.

i lost my vts keys on the drink, cost me 100 quid from local locksmiths with no id or anything he proggramed the key without anything from me too

dont no how he managed that tbh every car has a seperate key code that the ecu reads , when you buy a car from new you get a card with your key codes on it amongst others you normaly have to go to deaLer and buy the codes for your car then get a key coded with your code .

Wont need coding if its a keypad immobiliser

thats what i was thinking it has a keypad immobiliser its only a p reg 1.1

[tony5haw1988]

mine is not a key pad and he simply opened car took a mould from boot lock and used a computer to read imobiliser somehow. i sat and watched him it took about 2 hours though. he was the only 1 who said he could do it without code the other 20-25 people i rang said they would need code. just shows that it can be done.
