My mate got one on the cheap off Ebay - said it was like sommat out of a Christmas cracker - useless. Just bite the bullet and pay a couple of ton for a couple of real ones. I think a garage near Clarendon Street would sort you out. Edited February 26, 2022 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Has anybody else ever absentmindedly tried to beep themselves into the front door with a car key fob when they've got home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I do wish it was a thing to have it in your pockets to get in your gaff, when your hands are full or pissed as a fart Edited February 26, 2022 by Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Olympic locks on Chorley Old Rd, just lower down than Morrys on the opposite side. The key may well be a main dealer only part, but Olympic buy them at trade rates & their labour costs are much lower Give them a ring, the lad to speak to is Rob - he’s very good.07501 013408 Edited February 26, 2022 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 If you're stuck I can recommend someone near me in Lincoln. I had a 57 plate mini with a similar problem, the main dealer quoted me similar silly money which made the key 20% value of the car! Went to this bloke, he said "Forty quid, leave the key and come back in half an hour" and he was as good as his word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you lost the fob or stopped working? Assume lost? You could also buy a fob from a scrapper/breaker and get it recoded I would imagine but not 100% sure of this as maybe once coded to a car that’s them done. I would try the one that bogs has said as he’s in the trade so that’s as good a recommendation as you’re going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I wouldn’t buy one from a breakers Mounts, might as well throw your money down a grid. Speak to someone who knows what they’re doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try e-bay, but go to the US site .... also before you do see how easy or not it is to reprogram the key, my corvette is easy you do it yourself, my Ford explorer you have to go to the dealership to get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
