Just have an emergency spare cut at a motor factors. It'll get you into your car in an emergency and worse case scenario you can even start it if you disable the immobilser on the newage keypad.

Cheers for all the responses, $tealer reckons the original keys come from japan with 2 buttons on, they then have to convert to one button, then code it, then have my pants down, then try the key in my **** and want around 150 for that almighty amount of hard work! To quote James May...
*****!

Was speaking to someone the other day about the mental prices Subaru charge for stuff. Apparently a replacement wing for a hawkeye is only £80 whereas the headlight unit, without bulbs or fitting is £600+

Jeez that is bad, when I bought my Scoob 9 yeras ago it only had one key, the dealer gave me another but I had to have it cut and programmed she told me then the key itself would cost £100, So Itook it to my local dealer who serviced my car and he did it for free!!!!!
Cheers

My old man lost the only key to an Audi Allroad a few years ago.

Think it ended up costing 1200 euro to get it dragged up onto a tow truck, brought to the stealer, 2 new keys, change some bull**** in the engine and programme the new keys to the new bull****!

Ridiculous.
