I'd imagine any old key cutting/shoe repair place on the high street would be able to cut you a new key although I'd hope they'd ask to see the V5...


Why is it that shoe places cut keys?
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

I've always wondered that? Hardly the same are they.

You can get uncut blades from ebay. Wouldn't have thought a high street key cutter would have the blade, but they would be able to cut one for you i'm sure.

Yeah, but just try asking a key place to fix your shoes and they're f*cked
