Have you tried a 'key cutter'? When I needed a new key for my Ford Fiesta (original had twisted due to a stuck boot look), they took the original one, scanned it using some machine, then programmed a new one on the same kit. First attempt didn't work and I could only start the car using the new key in the lock and holding the original one near the column, but I returned and they managed it on their second attempt. Cost about £40.
Wonder if they could produce you a new working key from the remaining one that works?

Not sure if this will help but I broke one of my keys and went to my local shoe repair/watch battery shops.
He said no problem, took the good key I'd brought in with me. Scanned it into a computer thing, then took a blank from the wall, scanned that with the details from mine then cut the new key. All worked fine.
Might be worth going to one and asking.
Shop was called Timpsoms I think. they are in every town around here. I've just phoned a Timpsons branch that does key cutting / programming - I'm going to slip over there and see what they say - Thanks for the heads up.Nick W & TBM Oakmere are stating roughly 3 hrs to disassemble / re-assemble and have no idea of the Morgan Motors cost for programming....... I'd guess not much change from £500 overall - plus the time off the road
