Getting spare keys cut?

Post by triumphboy »

Hello all

As I seem to have an incredible skill of losing and misplacing things, I think it would be wise to get a third set of keys cut. Can anyone advise of where/how to do this please? Is it as simple as buying blanks and taking them to any old key cutting place?

I use two keys, one for the ignition, fuel and all doors, which has the letters 'N' and separately 'WT0' engraved on it. The other is a small square key with 'FH039' on it which is for the water tank.

I have photos if that helps....

Any help much appreciated, thanks a lot :)

Aye, Dan Simpson is your man, sorted me out a key for a replacement that was not supplied with a second hand sliding door exterior handle. Just gave him the barrel number, and bobs your uncle :ok

Being posh 8) I bought a VW N profile key blank from VW (251837219A) for about £5 and got a local cobbler to cut it for a quid
