My son has lost his car keys, and has no spare(wally)
It is ford mondago, would a main dealer have records of the Keys( he is the 4th owner), if he produces the log book and engine number etc.
No Rac etc cover.

They should be able to help but he will need the Vin Number.

Will the vin number be in the log book?

i told you he was a wally, just phoned him and he told me all the documents are in the glove conpartment:o . i guess its a half brick through the window:eek:

Plumb,

The guys on the motoring board might be able to help. Let me know if you want me to move the thread over.....preferably before you put a brick through the window.

ask a local 'yoof' he will be in there in 3 seconds,

a lock smith maybe able to help, if you realy do need to bust a window do the small one on the rear door.. there cheaper to replace,

also most garages will have a 'lock out' kit if you ask nicely they will come and open it for you..(not a fast fit centre)

Locksmith, think they would cost a fortune, I was thinking half a brick (free) pay £50 and claim on his insurance for the window.

There are certain locksmiths who will be able to provide a key for you on the spot. Autokeys spring to mine, they have a nationwide franchise.

ok, the coat hanger trick can still work on modern cars, you need a length of stiff wire like a coat hanger, first you need to open up a gap to gain access so to do this you will need a wedge, you need to bend open the drivers door at the top left corner by driving in a wedge to allow you get a wire in, its a bit daunting bending a door but it should go as there are no locks or fixings up there. when you have a gap bend the wire to suit and try to get down to the door handle (or the boot release button if it has one)
