The wife has managed to lose the fob for daisey .. god knows how as they are on a big bunch of keys,,,but thought I have a spare fob and I can program a new one, just remembered that you need the master key to do that.... where’s the master key ?in the fucking missing fob....bollocks... if I didn’t have the lurgy I would be ripping the house apart looking for the missing keys... moral of the story is to keep your master key at home somewhere safe...or try using this View attachment 27566View attachment 27566

Look on the positive side, at least you don't have to sort a key out.

That’s the thing already ordered a new fob... but at least I can program it now and the master key is never gonna leave the house from now on....I will put it in a really safe place and probably forget where that is in a couple of days

Maaaaaan are you in a world of trouble! :joy: :laughing: Have you got a little Christmas tree you can put up in the shed? It may not be safe to emerge for several weeks.

Glad the keys are found though; I hate not knowing where my keys are ALL the time. Gives me the shivers.

The key that has been cut and has had the chip in it programmed... you can copy these keys but you need the four digit code that’s on the back of your dash board I believe.. but that involves taking your dash apart
 
Box of chocs and some serious arse kissing then I may be allowed back indoors without the stab vest...
 
On the plus side I’m cutting lots of firewood, but I have to keep it away from the wife’s stare as it might ignite it...as I’ve said before I’m always in the shit it’s only the depth that varies,,,,, I’m upto my neck with this Faux pas

Both keys that I have look identical. They both seem to have something in the plastic part at the end of the key.IMAG2009-20191206-212032425.jpg

I also have two small aluminium "dog tags" which I have labelled up as "key codes?". Both are five digits and begin with the number 4. Hoping I won't lose a key but it is always useful to know what is involved in getting another one made. :)
 
The plastic part could be the transponder for the security
 
Finally clear the decks to work on the Elgrand. Mental prepare self to change rear wheel bearing, wrapping up to face the cold.

Fanny about selecting jacking point for trolley jack and axle stand. Get her up, wheel off. Fight the split pin. Get large sockets. Find my set only goes up to 32mm, not big enough. Missus has gone out without keys so I can't go anywhere to buy said sockets. Fucking fuck. Go refit pin and wheel and start looking for mobile mechanics. Bollocky bollocks.
 
Oh no.
