milliardo   10 #1 Posted January 18, 2013 Hi all, my darling husband seems to have lost our car keys (He was even smart enough never to detach the spare key from the main set). We have combed the house and the only place he could've left them is dropped them outside the front door, not noticed, and someone has had away (we've been under car, over car, scraping snow)  Can only go to dealer, who want £160 plus vat for key, and the only Mazda dealer closest is in Wakefield apparently. As we have no means of getting there, does anybody know how much a tow truck will cost from Sheffield to Wakefield and who is trustworthy?  On a side note, if anybody picks up any or sees any scrote with a pair of Mazda keys in and around S2, kindly plonk them into the local copshop or wrangle the little git.

geared   321 #6 Posted January 19, 2013 but for the price it's cheaper to get a recovery vehicle.  Are you sure you've checked absolutely everywhere? It's just a fairly strange place to drop your keys, compared to the mirriad of places in a house you can loose them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
big_g   10 #7 Posted January 19, 2013 Reason they said we need to take it to the garage is to recode it, so captain scrote can't use the key he pinched, or are they having us on? I know nothing about vehiculars!  Did you not get some key cards with the car? Mine had two cards - one for the code and another for the shape of the key (I think that was what they were for)?  That said - it may be better to get keys with a different code and reprogram the car part - just in case someone has found them.  If you have lost them inside the house, they'll turn up as soon as you've spent the money getting a new key cut.  EDIT  Actually, just reread your post. You could maybe get new keys - use them in your car and then get the key and car reprogrammed - but drive there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
