We got a spare key cut from the local lock smiths who, after a few attempts, even got it to work the central locking. Think you need a "proper" locksmith though, not a quick cut/shoe shine variety.

Got my key cut for under a fiver last September at Timpsons the shoe repair people. It was for my Oct 95 SGL3, he had Mazda blanks in stock. It has worked all doors,c/locking and ignition ever since. Shakey

Depends how worn your key is . I had many keys cut from my original at several shops and none of them worked fully. I gave my mazda agent the key No and he got one which worked perfectly. I then got another cut at Timpsons from the new one and it worked perfectly also. Mazda is expensive but guaranteed to work !!!
