It may have been covered on a previous post, but the search did not show anything. I need a spare key. Is this a Dealer job, i.e are the keys coded for immobiliser or can i cut one at the nearest key cutting shop?

Has been covered before:
But:
Option 1: You can get a key cut and coded at most Key cutters, but only a few can code for the imob.
Timpsons charge about £50 for a coded key.
Option 2: Dealers charge £100 ish
Option 3: You can tape your already coded key inside the steering wheel cowl and use a normal (un-coded) key.
You may find your insurance is void, as you effectively have no imob
Easiest way is to just pay the dealer

I've dealt with them in the past - they do know what they are talking about. Timpsons are usually cheaper though you need to shop around as the prices vary from branch to branch.
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
