Holiday chicken where are you located im in cheshire and i have a man who is top notch he made me a new updated key with chip etc for £120 and it works fine i can give you his number if you wish to chat with him

There is a process for pairing the transponder to the Key. I had to do that when I got a new key

Holidaychicken mine is a 54 plate model year 05 he did mine at the car pluged something into it a read some numbers or codes they were and hey presto

I searced everywhere with in a 60 mile radius from me no one said they could do it then i found this company called star keys in chester near me in cheshire he said yes i can do that sure enough he did

Thanks guys, this leads to me to confirm even further that the guy my friend paid a load of money to doesn't have a clue what he is doing.
And both of you had no keys to start with ?

I had 1 key but the man i used didnt need to do anything with that key he came to my house was there about 2 and a bit hour job done

ok, thanks for the info, I'll try ringing him again tomorrow and arrange something for next week.

You still not got this sorted? My offer still stands send me the EWS and keys I will check everything is programmed correctly for free (well just return postage)

Latest is.....
I managed to release the gear lever into neutral using the little black lever under the gear knob, for those that don't know, i just pulled up the panel that the gear lever skirt is attached to and under there is a little black lever that if you pull that up, pull in the button on the gear lever it will go into neutral and i noticed the steering lock wasn't on which is a little strange, so we tried it lock to lock and nothing happened so we managed to tow it around the corner to my house and onto my drive.

i removed the alarm sounder so i could work on it without annoying the neighbours.

i refitted the fully charged battery, checked all the fuses which were fine but still no go with the key.
The immobiliser ECU that is fitted is not the EWS as the key programming guy said but the later YWC500234 as he hasnt put it back into the location under the centre console but it is just loose under the drinks holder.

I am going to check the wires are not lose going to the ignition barrel and try and contact the guy next week.
Failing that i will probably call in somebody else to have a go.........

Thank you for that, he has only just got the genuine key through and i am trying to get the original programmer to come back and sort it but if he can't or won't i may take you up on that which will be a great help as it will tell me if I need to trace the problem to elsewhere.
the guy reckons the genuine key should work straight out the box but i dont think that is correct
He said the unit was EWS but it isn't it is the later YWC500234, would that make a difference to what you can do ?

The vehicle had literally taken root outside his house but the police were going to tow it as it was sorn but he had only put it on the path but they cut him some slack as he is unwell but would have come back and taken it at some point so this encouraged him to get it sorted and now it's on my drive ........

This is a pic of the ECU, luckily the guy couldnt be arsed to fit it back in it's proper place so it is visible under the cup holder location.

Many thanks

just marking this post so i can follow it
i did ask my local dealer for a new key, they said, give them the vin no and $500 and it will take six weeks to come from the UK ???

Wow, that's a bit steep, the one we purchased was £150 and they said 3 weeks but arrived within a week - doesn't work though
I am guessing it's ll the shipping involved for you, it has taken me 3 weeks to get stuff from the USA before, that was 1 week to travel across the world, 3 days to get through customs and about 2 weeks to get it from my local parcelforce depot 15 miles away...
