Lost Key
« on: 20 February 2012, 11:25:15 »
Not mine (thank God!!)

Just in Warners buying some Opticlean and the woman in front of me needed to replace her lost key.

New car pass, blade, R/C fob and programming....

£143  :o :o

Incidentally, Warners charge £24 for the car pass  :y :y

New key for one of my 7 Series was a £150, that included a new blade, and I can pair them to the car very easily myself. Would've cost around £120 with a new blade too.

was in the Vx dealer the other day and the bloke in front bought a key barrel, £89 I think he paid, then he asked the guy to book it in to be fitted and the reply was, "it takes about an hour and will be £104"   ???

maybe the car key insurance is starting too look good  :-\

Swmbo has a renault megane with those stupid credit card keys it was only the other month when i asked where the spare key was.
She then produced a mangled piece of plastic with lots of teeth marks on it !!!!!!
It was your bloody dog she then told me as if i was the one who left it on the floor  :-\ :-\  Havn't been to renault yet to get a price,

True, but I managed to get a 2nd hand key recut (checked it had enough metal in all the right places), and reused an old fob. Didn't even get charged for key cutting, as I use the chap a fair bit, and he laughed at trying to recut a 2nd hand key ;D

If you are using a dodgy copy of a certain hardware/software combo to do that, be aware I'm am making a decent profit from fixing the aftermath said dodge copy screwing it up.  Although Nuneaton is too far for me anyway...  ;)
