The main key (with the lock / unlock buttons) has somehow got bent and
so doesn't always start the car without a fight. Would a locksmith be
able to straighten this and / or can anyone let me know how much a
replacement would be from the dealership?

Thanks

Rob

It should be just a matter of getting a new blade for the key. The
plastic body contains the micro-chip that is read by the car as well
as the infra-red stuff to open the locks. That is the bit that costs
an arm and a leg at the dealers.
