welcome to the forum
does it have a number 2 on it aswell? if so is a second generation key needs no red but new ones are £70 from fiat.

 

[Wappa]

not that i can se.Is that a problem?it does have 4 digits on it,,do they help

 

[dave]

they both have 4 digits on, the 2 would be above the triangle,
dont worry though if you have no red key, out of the 7000 odd members on here i think ive only once heard of someone needing the red key, the good thing is if its first generation(without 2) you can get it cloned by timpsons or any good key cutters for about £25

 

[Wappa]

i cant see a 2 on it.I will go to Timpsons and get one cut,,,thanks 4 that,,,any suggestions about the erratic idling and slight misses?i dont do much more than 80 mph on m/way but im doin 55 miles a day,do u think the miss is down to high motorway miles,and what could be done to rectify the miss?
cheers

sometimes a bottle of injector cleaner into the petrol tank can help
