Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

When i say the key is chipped, i mean that i can only start the car with a Fiat key as it has micro-chip in it. It has an immobiliser fitted.And yes of course i noticed when i bought the car!!!!!!
Also, I live in the UK.

I bought a useed Fiat Punto today and the key that came with it is broken and i cannot use a key chain with it. Does anyone know if there is something i can buy that will cover the end so i can keep it a bit safer. Also, does anyone know how much another key would cost? (It's a chipped key)

'96 Plymouth Grand Voyager. When I reach a speed of 35, it feels like it's going to fall apart at the seams. It stays that way until I reach a speed of 50, then it stops. It has been determined that the tires and wheels are fine. I don't need transmission fluid, the steering wheel does not vibrate, and I don't need a front end alignment. I did just have a back shock fall off, (the original) but after replacement of two shocks, this problem did not get better or worse. I can't explain the feeling, except maybe to say it feels like both front tires are coming off the rims, or I'm running over a few deer. Again, tires, rims, etc have already been checked. Can you solve the mystery? It's a 3.3, and has almost 170 thousand miles on it, with regular maintenance and care by the same mechanic, that I completely trust. Also, it has run out of gas twice recently, even though both times, the gas gauge says over a 1/8 of a tank. At 1/4 of a tank, it starts feeling like it doesn't want to run.
