    You are free to dispute any invoice that they try and sting you for. But by your own admission the keys are incomplete and they will test them and charge you accordingly, as stated in your original agreement. Good lucks.

    not trying to be funny but how can they invoice me for anything not mentioned at collection once the contract has ended and they have taken the car back?

    have not made my mind up on anything. I thought you sign a handover thing agreeing what is wrong with the car.
    is this not correct /?

    The options are fix it or pay for it. You are trying to add blag it to that list. Think about it.

    I think it's quite clear you've made you're mind up. You intend to stitch someone up later down the line.

    Give it back as it is, they won't check. You'll be fine.

    Accident damage, damage to leather seats, over the agreed mileage and missing keys.

    I hope you're got a few quid put by.

    Another amber gambler turns to a forum to calm his anxiety. What's a missing key fob or two? They won't even check. Course they won't. Cars don't need keys!

    And why do you need keys when you're redlining it in second to get through before the orange light changes. Hurling your key fobs at passer-by while expressing fluids into the upholstery.

    I pity whoever buys the op's car. Missing key fobs will be the least of their worries.

    And a burnt out clutch on the previous lease. :rotfl::rotfl:
