Well I think i made a good start here, the red key does not have anything in it right other than the transponder tube?

I assume there ment to be like that, my red one only has the rice grain size cylinder in it (it looks like there is a space for a battery)
and it worked fine when it was taken to the garage using the red key last week.

Yeah, I paniced when all there was inside was that grain of rice, i was thinkinh the rest was missing (ie the battery)

Can only assume fiat decided to be cheap a use the same molds for there cinq keys as they did for a car that had a use for the battery, unless its for storing a coins in

Yep - red key is about right. Take it to Timpsons or similar - they can make you a new blue for about £20.
