Lost Keys
Peugeot is a car manufacturer which is well-known for making high-quality vehicles. These cars come with a strong security feature that stops unauthorized use of the vehicle.

Transponder Fault
The immobilizer on your Peugeot 207 verifies the key you used to begin the vehicle is the correct one. It does this by transmitting an indication from the microchip embedded in your key to the ignition switch using an antenna. This is a safety feature that prevents your car from being taken away.
If the immobilizer control module receives a signal from your key that is different to the code it's expecting, it will either illuminate the warning light that appears on the console or flash very quickly. This means that something is wrong and you may have to surrender the car at an Peugeot dealer, along with your registration card and identification document to reset the system and the keys reprogrammed.

If you've swapped your original Peugeot key case with a different one (and that's why you lost the transponder chip), or you have damaged your key by getting it wet, there is usually nothing to worry about. The most common problems with the immobilizer system are due to a low battery in the key, a damaged antenna, or electronic failure within the module and the engine computer.
Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to do something completely different in the beginning of 2000. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced the flip-key model instead of the more reliable transponder chip that was encased in carbon. The new design has its problems. One of the most severe is the wobble of the key blade. This problem is caused when the blade of the key, which is the mouth piece that goes into the lock first, wears out. The silver button inside the lock stops flipping the mechanism and the key won't feed into the lock.
It is, however, easy to repair with a new key blade, properly cut according to. It is crucial that the blade be copied from your worn key and not a generic model, as it will not give you the exact shape of the key and will continue to wear the same way. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a brand new blade to help you solve this issue.

One of the biggest issues with the Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism that holds the blade in place doesn't work very well. This is particularly relevant to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is due to the design of this key 'flip' mechanism has changed from the old model, a carbon-encased chip.
