Anyway. Picked up my new wheels on Monday from Birmingham, having driven the old one down from North Yorks to change. When I got there the clutch was slipping badly, the front wheel bearing was howling, the locks wouldn't work unless you jiggled the key, there was a nasty knocking sound coming from the rear somewhere, 4 barely legal tyres on it, no road tax (I took that off) and I suspect it's time had just about come. Glad to be in something a bit more roadworthy. So I've now got an 07 Partner 1.6HDI 90bhp with 66k on the clock. Nice little motor.
Well, onto the problem. Nothing much really but there's only one key and the lock function doesn't work on the fob. It unlocks okay and it looks like the actual fob button is broken inside. This means I have to use the drivers door to lock the van all the time as the rear door lock is siezed. So, I need 2 new keys cutting and coding. Where's the best place to go for these? I'm happy to pay as little as possible so I presume a dealer is going to be quite costly. Timpsons Autolocksmiths replied to my email saying they didn't offer national coverage anymore, so they must not have a bloke in North Yorks.
Cheers.
