Locking car with key fob

I gather it's just a case of finding a similar key (which you know works) popping them both into 2 parts (blade and remote) swap the blade from your non working key onto the remote bit of the working key.
Do the turn on, turn off, press 3 times, flash 5 times routine and it recodes the remote to work with your car and should lock/unlock and work correctly.
If that happens your key is fecked and you need a new one.
If that doesn't happen then your receiver is fecked and you need to start searching scrap yards for breaking ibizas with working central locking
ive got 2 key fobs, one that opens the doors and the other starts the car.... and my central locking does work... the fobs wont unlock or lock the car, thats where i have to use the key in the door to unlock and lock them...
ok then let me rephrase
I have a standard non blippy key which does what it say on the tin.
put in door, turn, activate central locking, unlock both doors and the boot, put in ignition, start upm drive away.
My remote blippy key does all of the above too. exactly as it should
However you stand next to a locked car and push the iunlock button the light flashes but nothing happens. Stand next to an open car an push the lock button an equal amount of nothing happens.
Either the sender in the key is dead - which is where testing it with the remote part of a different key comes in.
Or the receiver in the car is dead - which is where finding a replacement from a scapper comes in
I'm in exactly the same boat and am just trying to help!

Get your mitts off. I had my eye on that one
Yes though in theory the remote section of that would swap straight onto your key.
However as you are buying just the key you have no idea if the trasmitter inside that one works or not.
It could turn up and still not work but you still wouldn't know if you'd finally confirmed the receiver in the car is broken; or if you'd just bought another duff key :s
YES!! considering its taken so long to try and figure out the problem, i finally did dismorning!! i had a brain wave last night so thought i'd change the fobs over on the keys and hey presto it worked!! i can now unlock n lock the car without using the key in the door but should the indicater lights flash when you lock the car lol? By the way thank you for everyones help much appreciated
