so i finally got a subaru after my years of sideline love its only a sport but its a start i love it so much but here is the deal it only has 1 key does anyone know if an x plate sport can just get a key cut at a normal place or does it need to be done special and does anyone know the cost?

ps i know im asking loads of q's all at once but how do you search for your old posts on here

Classics are just normal keys AFAIK. New-age keys have a transponder in them which speaks to the barrel and ECU as part of the immobilisor and as such need to be set up by the dealers for about £140 a time

Classics still have transponders. Well 98 onwards definately do.
It'll be around 70 odd quid from subaru, or 20 odd from a key cutters, but won't be a genuine key.

classics also have a transponder witch speeks to the barral

UK cars 1997 onwards have transponders built in the ignition key which immobilises the engine.

You can get a the key cut easy enough which will unlock the car and switch on the ignition, but it won't start the engine (or it'll fire up and cut out after a few seconds). It will need to be programmed. (unless you fit an aftermarket ECU ).

And please punctuate, I'm running out of breath!
