Central Locking Key replacement
Does anyone know where we can obtain a replacement central locking key and how we get it programmed?

If your talking about an original Japanese one then you don't! They work on the wrong frequencies for the UK, and your likely to find that you suffer with interference and might get jammed / locked out of the vehicle!!
That's not to say that the EU frequencies are any better, as they put them in a band close to the Tetra transmitters, the MoD and radio amateurs so if you park on a hilltop and can see lots of aerials sprouting from buildings nearby then ah keep your fingers crossed!

Re: Central Locking Key replacement
If it looks like this, then some other Mazda and Ford owners have had some success setting the locking module into 'learn mode' and pairing new fobs with them. I think it was Mazda 6 or 626 that this can be done on so it may be possible with the Bongo too.
Alternatively, you can get an aftremarket remote locking kit and fit it to work in parallel with the existing actuator in the drivers door.
