Firstly you need to confirm what frequency the key works at. Different countries use different standards so a US key for example won't work on a UK car.

Ok ta.

thought it wouldn't be simple :-(

But 20 quid might be worth the risk

Just shot them a mail asking for more information.

We'll see

You need one that will operate at 433 MHz.

Don't bother with the flip key.

The one I bought off eBay lasted two months then broke off in the ignition and was very difficult to turn. Almost couldn't restart the car and get home. Not to mention a lot of places didn't want to cut it. I then bought a regular style key off eBay from a guy that could cut it from a picture of my old one. Works perfect.

Good advice
