We were recently called out to Westhead, Ormskirk to help the owner of a 56 plate Citroën C1 who was having ongoing problems with his only car key. The remote function had completely stopped working, and to make matters worse, the manual key blade would no longer operate the door locks. This meant the vehicle could not be locked at all, creating a serious security concern.
Wanting a proper, long-term fix, the customer contacted Paladin Vehicle Keys for a professional solution.

- 📡 Programmed a new remote key to the vehicle, restoring full remote locking and unlocking functionality
- 🔐 Programmed the key into the immobiliser system, allowing the engine to start as it should
- ✅ Fully tested all functions to ensure the key worked perfectly in every aspect
