MK6 Key Cloning

[Kriegar]

So I only received 1 key with my MK6 Transit and was quoted £60 by timpsons to clone the existing key... This seems like a lot considering you can get cut keys on ebay for £12, surely it's not that costly to simply clone a transponder?

I have emailed a couple of locksmiths but have been completely blanked!. Ill have to do a bit more shopping around I suppose.

Does anyone know roughly how much it should cost and do you have any recommendations on where to go for it?

Its a fair price. New key is 15, cutting, cost of blank transponder+ programming. 50 does not seem exessive. Getting one from the stealership is tripe the price.

Blank transponders are like £1 a pop and thats if you arent buying them in bulk. Id have assumed that it's just a case of 30 seconds worth of work to clone them via a machine too?

I don't see where the extra cost goes.

But if thats what it costs then I suppose thats what Ill have to pay!

its not that bad considering you are out the door in 5 minutes. the guy also has to keep the lights on, same a s you.

£60 every 5 minutes is going to keep plenty lights on!

I'm in the wrong bloody profession!

Should become a show man and travel doing the gala days , guy makes £180 a minute and it’s not uncommon to have 75k cash a night on a weekend that’s one show which is worth around 1.5M new , easy 250k on a good weekend

£60 is cheap,

Do you think the gear to code the key and the shop
To Keep it in is free? What about the guys wages?

few weeks ago i got a new one cut, programmed + new fob for 70 european roebels and a free keychain. cant complain when it would be 200+ at the stealership.
