It is possible to get new keys cut, you need to get into the boot and remove the boot latch, on the long shaft that comes out of the rear of the boot lock you will find a stamped number.

The number along with the reg can be used to cut a new set.

Andy clears at Drive Vauxhall might still be able to get this done, he did it when I lost the keys to my Mk1 Cav and they were perfect.

If he can't do it I can get it done in Europe but it is a faff and postage is expensive.

Or, If they are all different and you want one key for everything I can make a full set of locks and send them to you, I would want the old ones back though so I can strip them to make more in future.

It's a big job and involves two door locks, one boot lock, one ignition lock and a fuel cap all are different but work on the same principle, price would depend on how much time it took me and what I have here already, I think I have pairs of blank new keys here ready to cut to new locks.
