Help car keys gone awol any ideas..

Postby thebigapple2 » Mon Nov 25, 2013 2:07 pm

Hi My GTA G480AVC is in storage in North London. My sister who was keeping the keys and paperwork for me has lost the keys. we can get into the garage and the car but will need the keys too get her started. Any thoughts on how I can get a replacement set?
Thanks in advance too all those with suggestions.

I went to a locksmith who was able to reproduce my key from a catalogue v5. No problem .

Like what he said - a locksmith ...assuming you have the V5 still

how frustrating - to cheer you up I enclose this relevant snippit

Good luck...and please ask the locksmith "who are you, and how did you get in here ?"

PS: some AA 'gold?' cover has key insurance - maybe check your home insurance too ?

Just to reiterate my post, if you go to a locksmith you do not need a key to copy!
The guy I used just looked up chassis number and reg all from v5 in his catalogue of keys And then made the key in front of me.
