Mario - can you suggest anything for my key?
Here's what I've got after failing to separate the parts of the old key properly. As you can see, parts A and B (the red ones) are no longer attached to the old case but red part B is damaged (it should look like blue part B).
Blue parts A, B, C, D, are all new.
Can it be salvaged or do I need to get blue part A cut to match red part A?
EDIT
Or, another idea altogether:
- Buy a completely new lockset containing: 2 pre-cut keys with transponders; one lock barrel; one back plate.
Then do this:
- Ditch the new backplate
- Take the old lock barrel off the car's driver's door and fit the new one in its place
- Ditch the new transponders and replace them with the car's original ones
This plan might work for the driver's door but what about the manual lock on the boot lid (which would still have the original lock barrel)?
