Spare keys

Post by drumbell » Sun Jul 30, 2017 6:24 pm

Hi there. Any recommendations on where to get a spare key cut? The original key has just snapped. As a new bongo owner am still getting sorted! Thanks. I'm in West Kent

Always been able to get these at our local cobblers, about 3 quid.

There's Timpsons but they are dear.

On a similar note, is it possible to get a spare central locking key remote whatyamacallit?

I would guess that depends on the make/model of thingumywotsit.

Likely an aftermarket fit so I'd start by Googling the manufacturer, if it's known, other wise:

Hmm, think that one was US, this might be worth a look.

Ah, ok, I assumed it was Factory fitted as the manual I have mentions it as an option. Back to the drawing board!

An auto-locksmith can cut a key with just the lock number. Might be useful if you don't have another key to copy. (I had my spare key cut and passenger lock changed to use the same key, all by post).
