hi all.
Can my friend get a spare key cut for her 306TD, it's a 1997 car (with a non-immobilised bosch pump).. I am guessing there are no chips in the key.. there doesn't seem to be a key dash-light either.. it begs the question, how is a 1997 306 td immobilised ? no keypad...
If it is indeed a chipped key, the fact that the pump is from an older car, would mean the spare key would work fine ?
many thanks
John

Hi John,
I onve had a 1997 (R reg) 306 D Turbo and this was immobilised via the transponder chip in the key.
I'm not sure if it is just the pump that is immobilised by this way as I think that the standard peugeot immobiliser is thatcham catagory 2 which I think had to have 2 circuits immobilised. (my old cavalier had the starter motor and fuel pump immobilised using a thatcham catagory 2 immobiliser).
I know alot of key cutters can cut a key and program it from the original key for less than £30 (I once had it done).
I hope this helps.

Simon many thanks for that.
Malcolm, (citroenut) also gave me some info... it seems if you dont have the factory key number, you need to go to a dealer and get that info, plus the blank key, plus recoding - around £70 I think.. Interesting you mention that it may be possible to 'read' the original key and get a new one cut and coded for £30..
It turns out she just wanted boot access and thought the new key would give her that... her lock was seized as was the central locking unit.. I free'd up the latter on Tue evening so she has a boot now
On my Xantia, sometimes the key light flashes and beeps ( I presume the chip or reciever is giving/getting a bad signal) but the car still turns over and still starts...
