Hmmm Nightrider

Hi there this is my first post but have read info on the forum since i bought my first alfa 2 years ago. I am only 25 and dont know lots about cars but just love Alfas. Like a div i have lost the only car key i had for my 147 2001 ( long story) I am trying to find the cheapest or best way to get back driving my car again as i have ben locked out for two days. I have no card with digits on for my old key and i thought about taking I.D and my V5 to the dealers to order a new key, will this open the doors without programming? how long will this take and if i get it reprogrammed independantly will it start the engine? please help if you can

Re: Nightrider

Hmm, not too sure about what you need to get a duplicate key made up mate, but if they can make one then I should imagine it will open up the doors and activate the central locking etc. Once in you will be able to follow a system in order to programme it to the car yourself.

If you can find the card though that would be easier for the garage to make a new key up.

Chilling Re: Nightrider lost key

have ordered a new key and they reckon its from Italy, bull****ters, anyway got it from the perry dealers in Huddersfiedl and it only cost £52 despite silly qoutes of other people Alfatech will come to my house and recode the key for £60 cheap to say i dont have to get it towed, any one near this area with an Alfa should consider these guys they are cheap and geniune and realy know there Alfas. So £110 in all and ill be back on the road in in about 1 week cant wait, had to get the bus to work today!!!
