My key has had water damage and needs new chip!! Went to dealer said £69 exc VAT,
And thats literally just the chip, not to program it etc etc! Luckily I have the code for it though 
Does that sound right????

Yes.
Not cheap - we had to get a new one for our Kia - £180.

Being the picky sort - I really hate it when people say this. Yes we all know what it looks like - but we all want to see the condition that yours is in! | |

The chip itself is fried!!! I already went ot a locksmiths! and thats his exact words!! He said you will need a new chip, then I can easily code it for you!

oh i see, what i meant was that if a local locksmiths can make spare car keys surely they will have the chips and maybe they would be cheaper than the dealer prices

As Lee says I think they will sell you just the transponder for about a fiver so possibly even cheaper.
