you should be able to get the key cut without going to the dealers, i've gotten keys done by a shoe repair shop for a laguna i had a few years back,

he put the existing key into a slot on this machine and it read the key then put the new key in an it put the code onto it,

he cut the key and it worked no problem, i got this done down a back street in a small town in ireland, if these lads have this technology i'm sure there is someone near you that can do it, and it only cost €40.

They're actually motors Ritchie. They have a rack and clutch inside them and it's the clutch that wears.

I've been looking at this forum for a long time now and have a reasonable memory of useful threads that have been written on various subjects...

I have enough to keep me busy with my own fleet sadly. Those, teenage daughters and a very demanding day job does for whatever spare time I have, as well as money
