    Ignition key

    Hi all....

    Ive broken my ignition key! only the plastic part though. The microchip and key shaft are both fine.

    Does anyone have a spare Main Ignition key (left over from broken car maybe) that I could cannabilize?

    Thanks

    I don't want to tread on anyone's toes here, and from your description you are after the key with the remote door locking button on it. Which is a good thing to do and changing the plastic case on the key is probable doable.
    but you can get blanks for a few quid from eBay, there is not a transponder in the vr4 key so it is just a case of getting it cut and you have nice new key.
    One other thing I assume you have alarm/immobiliser on the car, if so why do you need a replacement key when the alarm fob will lock and unlock the car.

    Bye for Now!

    Plain old Mitsubishi blanks will do the job! I bought a pair from China (other Asian countries are available! ) for about £6 off of eBay!
