Lost keys!

maninthestreet · 13th April 2024, 20:22

UPDATE: The keys have now been found!

This is a little embarrassing, I've only had my 75 for 1day, and I've managed to lose (maybe even been stolen) both keys. I'm now faced with an unlocked car on my drive that I cannot drive or secure, and if the keys have been stolen, the thief/thieves know the car's location. Regardless of whether they have been stolen or lost, I have to get a new set of keys. I know getting a new key is expensive, and can take a long time, but something may be in my favour - I have the barcode for the key. Can someone more knowledgeable than me on this subject advise me on this.

Yes, all is well. Unfortunately, I have a prior engagement next Sunday, so won't be able to make it. Are these regular meets, once a month or quarter?

Good news on the keys Adrian.

Most regions have several meets during the year, obviously the size varies. Ours comes under the London and South group, and we do look for venues with a good car park and food facilities, it seems always leaning to a breakfast meet.
Due to the area in which they live, some meetings are attended by those who arrive surrounded by elves, and their route is festooned with balloons, well not really but there are some guru's who may attend. As you are aware, there is a vast amount of information on the site, and many of those who attend the meets have either encountered problems or been able to guide other members in a resolution.

Our meetings are roughly every 31.5 days, with other more notable events happening taken into account.

Hopefully we'll see you at a meeting which is more convenient to you.

You have Andy at Beech Hil garage in your area, an excellent mechanic and all round good guy too!

Give him a shout for any rover needs.
