Dealing qith a fun problem atm with a BA ute where the previous owner thought he'd be smart and ordered a spare key, took it to a locksmith who then supposedly cut & programmed it for him.
Its got me buggered how it got programmed..... whilst its a tibbe key, it doesnt have a transponder chip in it!
If it's just the standard key it may have only been used as an access key.
Or there were several standard keys and a transponder chip placed within range of the reader, a common doings with taxis.

I am in charge of purchasing 1000's of parts every week, I constantly have problems with parts suppliers who when even armed with part numbers still send the wrong parts, Euro stuff being one of the worst, Mahindra is at the top of the list of the worst as they change production methods every odd day, so its a lucky dip to what you will be supplied or if it will even fit.

I feel your pain

Sadly, not the case, 1 owner/driver who thought he knew better.... he didnt even know about he transponder & was shocked when I used the 2nd key, and it started then shut off immediately!
