xk8 paper weight

[melox2]

Hi All ,

got a xk8 which was a police disposal ! , no keys with it so got a auto locksmith out who cut some keys to gain access and fit the ignition which all lights up but wont start , the guy couldn't seem to programme the transponder for what ever reason so at the moment i have a expensive paper weight , i have contacted a jag specialist and they say they can programme the car but i need to purchase 2 genuine keys from a dealer as you need 2 keys to programme ? does this sound right or any help would be great to get it sorted ,i did think of trying to get a second hand key and transponder module from a breaker car but not sure if that would work ?

I HAD ONE key REPLACED BY THE MAIN DEALER STRATSTONE. I DID HAVE THE SECOND key AT THE TIME. THEY DID NOT ASK ME TO BUY A SECOND key.
