Getting a vw lifted tomoz as thieves have targeted my bus this week....sods law.....lost my keys.....how much is this gona cost me ....anyone know a quick fix...got no engine ,just steering lock....is it just a case of big bar and take lock off that way ...sorry im on a mobile .. Cheer thesensi
Cheapest way is to drill the lock barrel out of the ignition, what years your van ? Do all the locks match? As you could have a key cut to a lock if someone nearby can do it, I know karmann konnection cut keys from a code, around £15 I think
the steering lock pins are pretty hefty from memory bit of a long way around it, but couldnt you undo the steering column from the coupler, and kick the wheels in the direction of the truck?
None of the locks match ......all different......i was just going to scaffold bar in steering wheel and yank it round .......then fix it all when its with me .....old skool style lock breaker style...maybe i can drill the ignition pins down and use a ....a erm to turn the barrel.......is thelatebay secure ie only member can read posts?coz car thieves would love this thread?????????
That thats means i would have to work in the cold ...loooool....got no tools in east london....i bought em all down to kent...
....probably not lol!! I was wondering how to phrase things carefully .....most busses are probbably dragged onto a low loader I guess ? .....or they carry a bunch of keys around as one is probably going to fit
You could try a local car showroom. They may have a set of skates you could hire? Do you have a face that looks trustworthy?
Cheers for your help people........found me keys thanks to a spooky but nice surprise....i did try to buy a pickset but geezer in shop said i needed a qualifcation in trade that reqs a pickset....my city n guilds in mechanic werent one of there trades.......gits...i assumed all mechanics could buy one ....mind u im missing one c and g certifigate.....and the one for spelling ....cheers paul...
I'd doubt a supposed car thief would be on here looking for supposed tips they're not difficult to work out!
