Best of Luck

Tom

Hi Tom, don't forget the AA guy was trying to get in with no damage.
When I go back to the car tomorrow having spent the night in an unlit car park, I may find some little 16 year old XXXX has found a way in, leavind a brick on the drivers seat, Bye Bye Cd player, Dave

I hope that does not happen Dave. At least you have had lots of support from the other members.

Hello Andy
The tag on my spare has
1 16 digit letter and number code and barcode
1 14 digit letter and number and + symbol code and a barcode
1 8 digit Number.

The 2 digit number which is probably 12 for the locking nut release key is nowt to do with door keys. Almost all our cars use that locker that's why a lot of us have been changing them for the Nitrousgear ones>

Hope this helps.

................ and most lockers are no 12

The info I posted was for yours and everybody elses benefit. I would hate to think that because I didn't speak, you or somebody else would have trouble replacing a key or buying a spare. For a dealer to get a new key they need the VIN number of the car. The V5 registration document as proof of ownership, I believe the keys are then odered from Germany if memory serves. Then programmed specifically for the car. I also, if memory serves, think the key uses a rolling code to access the car. To prevent cloning.
Having the bar codes for the key just makes this process a bit simpler.

Somebody correct me If I'm wrong please, I very often am or miss bits of info out.

Your spot on GG

Also the boot is an integral part of the car's security locking. A key from a different car won't open the boot.
