Where can I get replacement key for a 2002 Vauxhall Omega?

I have an old Vauxhall Omega 2002 reg that has been with me since new. Previously it has had the ECU replaced and now has a problem where I need a replacement key (one key only in use). What are my options as don't have current ECU code?

Most automotive locksmiths will be able to read the code from your existing key and then make up a replacement, though if it needs to be chipped to correspond with the immobiliser transponder, you may need to take the car to them. Either way, it's not an insurmountable problem and you should be able to get a replacement key for under £150.
