   Hi =] I've not had my Saxo long, and when I bought it all I got given was the key with no buttons on or anything. I've rang up Citroen today and they confirm I have remote central locking in my car, and also confirm the price of a new key fob from them would be £175! Baring in mind my car only cost me £350 I think its a bit unreasonable hah. So, my question is, is there any cheaper way to have use of the remote locking in my car?
   
   I would be happy just to use the keyholes in the doors to unlock the car, if the prev owner hadn't removed them! At the moment, I have to lock the car by leaning over from the passenger side and pushing the pin thingy down, and unlock it by climbing through the boot to pull it back up again.
   
   Thank you for any help!! It'd be very much appriciated.

   Thanks I was looking at that, is it still ok to use if I already have remote locking?

   I've spoken to a different Citroen dealer and they said if I can get a keyfob they'll program it for £48, but I can't find one on ebay with all the inside bits in.. Where do I get one of them?

   Why bother? The Hawk gives you 2 fobs for £20

   Well, I've never fiddled with cars before to be honest and it seems a bit complex hah and plus I already have a key for my fuel and then a key for my ignition so then id have a 3rd one for locking it and stuff. I'd just prefer to have less keys as possible! If I can't find a key fob though thats what'll end up been done! =]
