Lost/misplaced Keys

[sad old git]

Hello All. I have a three year old Renault Clio Extreme !.2 Engine. I have either lost or misplaced my key and am now reduced to my spare. I have contacted my local Renault dealer about the loss. Because the key is a three button coded key Renault say to replace it will cost me an arm and half a leg. So...can any one out there tell me about any alternatives or do I have to let the motorist be ripped off again. On that note I wish all ABRs a very happy,healthy and prosperous new year.Still sad old bad tempered git.

They aren't lost - they're just hiding until you have forked out your arm and a leg and then they will appear in a jacket pocket or in the fridge or somewhere else.......

Now is your chance to prove whether you believe or not; say "please, St Anthony find my car keys". I've asked him to help you.........but it will only work if you promise to report back.

My other half owns a Renault Megane - the local Renault dealer wants £140 for a replacement/duplicate fob, which I would estimate costs less than £5 to manufacture.

Maybe such a cost will effect your future choice of vehicle manufacturer, when buying your next car.

Personally if I were you, I would get by with the one key - until the other turned up (which would probably happen as soon as you part with £140).

Tamborine.St Anthony worked!!. On a thousand to one chance my wife contacted local police about the problem and viola! someone had found them and handed them in...Wonders never cease. Best wishes to you all for the New Year.
