They are the set we lost 2 years ago....many of you will be aware my wife had a stroke some 15 years ago and it's left her with many problems. One of which is memory issues....although she has a brilliant memory she does not have control when it comes to her. Having to think about today's keys triggered what she had done with the others 2 years ago.........inside a key cabinet behind a false door. Lol

See, they were somewhere safe.

As my wife says "it's not lost, you just don't know where you put it"

This is the problem.....dealers are stupidly expensive.....

I was quoted around £300 by dealer to obtain a correctly coded key / remote from just the VIN.

Cross posted a little, but hey

I know you said it before I replied that what matters...

Not to lecture and all that, but why in gods name did you neglect to have a 'forensic level tidy up' two years ago when you lost the first set, and then to go on with no spare set for two years is asking for trouble. You've only got yourselves to blame.

It's far more complex than that mate. We both have memory issues....and we're convinced the second set was left with the venue we store our fifth wheel. Despite asking them to check 3 times they were obviously not there....but we were pretty certain they were there.

When you have as many problems as we have health, money and lad with ADHD second sets of keys come low down on the list....but yes you are correct. Asking for trouble.

We both thought we knew
Where we had left them. Lol

 

[skotl]

We both though wd knew

Where we had left them. Lol

Yeah - she says "lost is when you've yomped over a hill and lost them in a river - anything else is not lost"

They would not be lost then. ..I would know where they were....difficult but retrievable. .

 

[ukracer]

I think you'll find they'll be in the last place you look

We were not looking.....at least not till the car we thought they might be in had come back from the clothes show...

I had a pal who bought himself a new wallet to carry when hill-walking - he didn't see the potential until I pointed out he'd bought one in camouflage colours.....

a bit hard luck if he drops-- in in the grass and goes back to look for it

For grass, read waist-deep heather. I pointed out he should at least have bought a day-glo orange one, he'd have a faint chance of spotting that if he dropped it - you could have heard the penny drop.........

Yeah - she says "lost is when you've tabbed over a hill and lost them in a river - anything else is not lost"

Fixed it for you

You don't need to worry now, you've got a second set. Rinse and repeat.

No in the daughter in laws car as I suspected but she has only recently got back from the clothes show....

How many of those had keyless entry with electronic keys coded to the ecu with inductive immobiliser fobs?

most were coded as pretty new cars,i never bothered to hand around and see how it was done apart from a new BMW on the top floor of a multi story,that took 1/2 hour tops. those we took back to the yard were always gone when i got back.

My mate had his nicked but he saw the guy in his kitchen and chased him off. The Police said he was after the keys to come back and steal the car. They also said he would have thrown them when chased..........anyway its cost over 2 grand to replace.........he was quoted £700 for the keys but they said they may not work....they didnt so he had to have a new thingybob..........personally I would have argued that the thingybob was their problem.
