Rover 75 keys
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 10:20 am
I have been approached by a fellow NZ Rover Car Club member in Auckland who is trying to find out where he can get a spare key for his 75. His car was imported second-hand from Japan and only came with one key. Although it works perfectly he is concerned that should it break or get lost, his car would then be useless.
He is wondering whether he can get a blank key and have it cut to the same pattern as his existing key, so that it unlocks the car, and starts the engine. I have a nasty feeling that he would need to get a proper key complete with transponder, and have it programmed correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions?
There is very little of the old MG-Rover dealer network remaining in this country now, the last real dealership closed about 2 years ago, and they now sell Chinese cars, so trying to find the relevant expertise, computer programmes etc is getting harder and harder.
Many thanks
