Oh blood… oh no sorry, the forum will see that as a naughty word, won’t it. There was me keeping that card safe for the last 10 years, when I don’ even HAVE locking wheel nuts.


OK, look, life can be depressing, so I’m always up for a laugh, and I’m thinking of having a go at this myself using your TOAF procedure, as suggested by Vitesse. I just realised that my girlfriend, who works for the largest metal recycling company in Ireland, has loads of contacts in the scrapper trade, so might be able to get me a key or two – if not, I’ll try the chap you mentioned.


I’ve never used TOAF, but hopefully if I follow your procedure to the letter I won’t get myself in trouble. Must just check that cable I have in the garage, but I think it’s the ELM type, which won’t work…?


I'll go and dig it out now... if it's no good, maybe you can recommend a cheapo one for me


Okily dokily, not looking good, is it... and even if it were suitable, the case doesn't seem to open to short the 2 requisite pins...
