Any Timpson shops on the high street will be able to source you all the keys/blanks that you require (in the UK that is).

http://www.timpson.co.uk

You'll most likely have to wait a couple of days for the boot key to come in, as it's a US GM part but it's deffo in their key catalog, as I ordered mine from there.

The manager will most likely do you a deal on two keys, as I believe that's his minimum order ie they'd rather sell you the two than run the risk of never moving them.

So don't delay, get to Timpson's today :wink:

When I got my S2 I had 3 keys, 1 Lotus key and 2 keys with what looks like the Opel (European GM) emblem.

IIRC all 3 seem to work in all locks, doors, ignition, boot, and glovebox, but I will check tomorrow.

Mr B
if you are near town there is a place on city road opposite shepherdess walk called ENTA security (past moorfields hospital going towards kings X)
they did three sets of door/boot lock keys for me for very little wonga ( they had to order a minimum of 50 blanks in for this), PM me if you need extra info

Algirdas,

we went thru this about 1 1/2 years ago and found the US has keys like the S2, but the SE has different keys a bit.

Anyway the US ignition is a common key in the UK so can get cheap blanks (forget the spec of it though--maybe search the forum for info -- it was a thread by Carl [also in Colorado mind you!!])

as you know it's the glovebox key that's a nightmare, and the Lotus replacement g-box latches are all keyless FYI.
