Everyone laugh at me.
Got the punto, came from secondhand dealer with the red key and the two smaller blue keys. Thought i better go get the red copied as there was only one.
Sooooooooooo after about 2 months I go and get the red copyed for £25, realize it looks just like the other blue ones. Which I thought were, and had been using as petrol cap keys. Horrible sinking feeling in my chest as i try one of the old blues in the ignition.
Car starts.
I start feeling stupid.

Re: red key
My dads 96 Brava won't start at the moment because of the immobiliser, would getting a chip sort this? Would He be better off sending the ecu to that codeman guy?
Where can I get a chip from and how much are they?D4NS said:Basically if your immobiliser kicks in ur buggered to put it bluntley. lol. Easiest way round it is to chip it, but to be honest the chances ull ever need it are slim to none.

is it a mk1? if so it should have 2 blue and a red, you can(should) get the blue cloned at good key cutters, you may never need the red key but its worth asking friend if he has it.-Andy- said:

Re: red key
imoblizer problems very rare that its needed if at all, you can go good keycutters these days and get your blue key cloned, it will work with out needing the red key

ask them when you phone up
some key cutters can make blues from a red, some cant make sure you get one that can and dont just clone you another red coded one, you need blues (x2) made from a red not a red key cloned60sx said:
Hi, new to the forum (first post).
Just bought my daughter a punto T reg sx 60 (her first car).
Problem: after reading this thread I am a little concerned about the Red key situation.
The car was supplied with a Red key and a Blue key, however the Blue key only fits the door and boot and the Red key fits the Ignition. I can only assume that the ignition has been broken before and replaced.
Anyway this leaves her driving the car using the Red key, which I believe is a big "No-No".
So should I get a blue key cloned from the red key for the ignition? where from? How much should I pay?
Can someone explain exactly why a Red key should not be used on a regular basis?
thanks
Rimsey
