everything seems fine, v5c, car etc.

the odd HPI i'm going to ring up finance company and ask, but having asked on a couple of forums, think it probably relates to previous private plate on the car.

as for key, bit annoying really.

yeh its a bit sloppy of him RE the key, if i bought the car from the dealer you would make them throw one in as part of the deal, he has possibly lost it, i would just be a tad carefull if you do buy it and if you can get the missing key removed from the ECU's memory

celica:
thanks

i've just emailed the seller to see if he recieved only one key from the VW dealer

i brought a newish toyota from an independant before and only had one remote key.
the spare key was expensive £100+
i can only assume VW is more expensive

but when they did the new one, they reprogrammed both so the car won't start with old key as the immobiliser ecu had been reset, but good point

sixpot:
The key is about £110 + £45 to get programmed in, be aware though that if the locks have ever been changed ( the key is ordered from Germany with your vin number) the key supplied will only fit the original locks! and You'll have wasted £150.  They do warn you before ordering them.

celica:
someone else quoted near £180
so close to £110+45+VAT ;-(

icenutter:
I bought mine second hand from a dealer with only one key on the promise that they sorted out with another one.  Which they did.  The transmitter part of the key and the re-coding was £70 inc VAT.
