That's where I got my keys done, have had loads done over the years, they were about just about the first place to be able to code transponder keys as well.

We have a AA man around here that specailizes in keys his van is kitted oot and can cut and code any keys to suit any car I've been told he even has a tool to read door barrels without the need to remove the lock or get into the car !so if urea member or now somebody that's one I would give them a call ,might save a lot of hassle

I got mine done by a chap in a layby between Newton Abbott and Paington. He was parked in the layby in a bongo! He had strings full of keys hanging in the back and running the length of the bongo. He had a basic keycutting machine which was powered by 2 x 12v car batteries and was using the Bongo as his workshop! Really nice bloke and only charged a couple of quid per key. :D

If the blank you need is like the one here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-Bongo-F ... 4aab3ff54d

...let me know and I'll stick one in the post to you FOC. I ordered one and it was no good for me - I've got one of the rarer keys which is slightly different to this one (the taper at the end).
