Desperate help needed (from Del)

Post by essexbloke »

I have a major problem.......

Havnt used the storm for 1 week (shite weather), so been using the RD or the car.

Only problem is that seeing as the weather tomorrow isnt too bad, just started to get the bike gear ready, but oh alas, lost the key to the storm.......

Hunted high & low, no sign anywhere.......guess what, yup, no spare either......

i'm now open to reccomendations as to how to remedy this......

I'm guessing i'll need a new lock cylinder etc......where do i get one, (quickly), how much is this blunder gonna cost, & how easy is it to fit a new one.......


HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps, Can you gis us a ring if you get a chance...... :cry:

I dont suppose this will help but just in case,
When I purchased my bike secondhand from my local dealer (sold by him when new) I only had one key with it. Thanks to him he'd had the foresight to write the number of the ignition key on the Honda hand book when he first sold the bike. If you've got the original hand book check it to see if the key code has been written on it,

Twas a V lucky escape, apparently had been dropped in the street 4 days before i'd even noticed it missing..........

How lucky was i that me neighbour spotted it !!!!!! (not before being run over though)

Now had to order 2 blanks from Honda, cos my local cutter cant get the blanks.......will be here tomorrow, then it's straight down the cutters !!!!!!!!!

Too close for comfort that one !!!!

If anyone has a problem getting key blanks please contact me, it's my job! I supply key blanks to the trade and should be able to help you out!

My e-mail addy is available from the member list.

Regards

Nobby

ps. Essexbloke, what year is your bike? If it has the Hiss system it would have been really expensive, you can't copy the keys, you have to go the the dealers to programme the key! wouldn't get much change out of £60!
Remember, never put off till t'moz what you can do today. If you do it today, you can do it again t'moz!! Just a thought!

as luck would have it, it's just pre HISS, (2000).........

but seeing as you mention it, could do with a couple of Yammy RD350 blanks (1993) if you get hold of some..........

Also dont suppose you deal with car keys do ya.......

need to get a spare for our Focus.......

I will look into the Yammy keys for ya and see what I can do. as far as the Focus is concerned, it has a transponder in it and will need a key with a chip in it. Some shoe repairers can do Ford keys, let me know exactly where you are and I'll try and put you in touch with one of my customers. They are not cheap mind you, about £25. Ford will charge a fair bit more. E-mail me a photo of the keys you want cutting and that'll help things along as well. Hope that helps!

Cheers M8.....Got the hondy keys so that's all sorted now....

I'm in North Essex, so anywhere in Colchester/Clacton or even Chelmsford (where i work) would be helpful.....

Cheers....

Ok E.B. I'll have a look tmoz for ya.

Welshy, most cars after 1997 have transponders in the keys. Note they have nothing to do with central locking and key fobs, a popular misconception. E-mail me the year of your car and I will let you know how expensive it will be to get a duplicate key !
