Vauxhall Vivaro (2017) — All Keys Lost
at a Scarborough Event
This call-out was a 2017 Vauxhall Vivaro, white, parked on the grass at an event field in Scarborough. The owner had lost the only key to the van — the day was still going, and the van and everything in it were stranded. I drove out, read the immobiliser through the OBD port, cut and programmed a brand-new remote key on site, and they were back in service before the next session.

A Lost Key Doesn't Have to End the Day
Events are exactly the kind of day a lost van key can derail. The kit's already in the back, the day's planned around being mobile, and a missing key turns the whole day into a recovery truck and a dealer wait. With the diagnostic kit hooked up, a new key can be cut and programmed in a single visit.
The Vivaro shares its locks and immobiliser with the Citroën Dispatch and Peugeot Expert — a platform I know inside out. I keep the most common Vivaro key blanks in the van, so there's no waiting on a part to come in the post.
Get a Spare Before the Only One Goes
Every all-keys-lost van job is one a spare key could have prevented. If you run a Vivaro, Combo, Movano or any other work van on a single key, getting a spare sorted is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy — a fraction of an all-keys-lost call-out, and it means the day never depends on one key.
