Hi All,
I've got an S-plate 98 406 LX that was bought with no owners handbook and only one set of keys. All legal of course, car was bought from a small independant non-Pug dealer.
I'm looking to get a spare set of keys cut, to avoid the hideous expense of rekeying the car if I lose them. I tried the local Pug garage, and the parts guy was far from helpful. The best he could suggest was if they were to perform a Pug database look-up of the car, to get the fob numbers for the keys. Even if Pug didn't have the details, I'd still get charged. He didn't seem to want to help, so I'm against giving them any money unless as a last resort.
Is there a better way than this? Would any of the mobile car locksmith tradesmen be any use to me? Or, is the cost and hasstle not worth it, given that I've never lost a key in my life? I'm just thinking what it would cost to replace all of the barrels should I lose this set, as well as the loss of transport during it.
Thanks in advance!!
Fraser.
