I have lost or misplaced my spare 2006 CRV key, I have had a quote from my
local dealer of £210 to supply and program a new key, this seems a bit of a
rip off, I notice I can buy a new key off Ebay for about £20, if I do this
can this be reprogramed to work on my vehicle?

My '01 Civic EX commuter car (294,000 mi @ 110 mi/day) has developed
a
head gasket oil leak on the passenger side of the engine, in the area
right behind the water-jacket. If I stay below 3000 rpm, the leak is
minimal, but if I drive it hard I quickly get oil all over the
transmission casing front and rear side.

A Honda dealership mechanic showed me the leak using dye in the oil
and ultra-violet light..we had to use an inspection mirror to see
into
this hard to reach area.

Another private mechanic recommended trying some un-named stop-leak
chemical before getting into what may be a $1000+ repair. I've never
hear of a gasket repair chemical to be added to oil, and so I'm kind
of sceptical of this. Is there such stuff ?

The car otherwise runs great, with no indications of oil in the
cooling syste. I'd like to get another 100,000 miles on this car, but
would the cheap stop-leak chemical solution hold for so long ?
