    Found keys :-)

    Suzuki wanted £700 to change locks or £220 to replace key.
  • That's good news.

    Is getting a spare key sorted out one of the first things on your "to do" list for the week?

    That's good news. Might be a good idea to buy a spare now, and take more care of your car key in future. :beer:

    Come on Kim, we're all on tender-hooks here - waiting to hear where the keys were.

    I'm very happy for you.

    Get a spare key soon and also take the key cover in future.

    They were at work, near the scanner.
    I must have walked in & put them down.
    Huge open plan office, with loads of bits & pieces & I couldn't see for looking!
  • Good news, Kim, indeed.......now maybe spend the £200 on getting a new fob and key from the dealer.........if it goes missing again it may well cost a fortune to get a whole new lock set :eek:

    Love a happy ending.


    I agree with all the above - get a spare key NOW when it's convenient, don't wait until next time.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.

    I have learnt my lesson & will be getting a spare.
    Should I get it from Suzuki? They said £150-£220.
    Or an independent auto locksmith?
    Is there benefits to going with Suzuki?
    I guess it will cost more, is it worth it?
