Firstly hello people, does anyone know of a decent and quick working stress relief method? One that will help me vent some pent up frustration without causing too much damage to my surroundings or localised individuals?

This is why......After visiting hellfrauds this merry afternoon i decided to go to visit staples just next door and buy a rather large expensive item. On discovering i had to lower the rear seats in the stilo to get the item in i preceeded to load the item into the boot and close the door....with my keys left soundly on the floor of the boot.

After realising this i errupted into a fit of low pitched screaming that im sure only dogs could hear because i didnt open the bloody doors first! which in conclusion means im royally shafted because i bought the car without a spare key set and just havent gotten around to buying a spare due to the cost.

This is where things get slightly better, but not for my bank balance. After trying to jimmy the door open a friendly AA driver who was sitting close by managed to unlock the door, yippee i thought until i found out the car was deadlocked. His response was ohhhhhhh dear.

I called RAC, they came out and diagnosed the same problem of deadlockitis. We then spent 3 hours phoning around the original fiat dealer that registered the car and my local fiat dealer to try and get a key number so a mobile locksmith could come and open the door.Suprise suprise they didnt have it and wouldnt give it to us.

The locksmith however is still going to try and get in, at 9:30 tonight....at a cost £156.45. If he gets in, and if he cant? well the callout is still only £75 i suppose. Friendly RAC man has just phoned me to let me know that if i smash the window to get in i can get a replacement for £140ish.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo, please keep those suggestions comming, oh and if anyone else has been in the same situation please feel free to say what you did...:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

Smashing the window will get rid of that frustration

Best make it the rear window then - otherwise you still wont get in (except through the window)

Noo, the angst, the pain, the frustration

Do you have fully comp insurance? Just get them to smash the rear window :chin: [although you may have a glass problem then] and pay the £50 or £60 excess, or whatever.

Do as the master says! Smash the rear window and claim on insurance... kills two birds with one stone!

well amongst other things! i think the idea of killing the nearest living thing fled through my mind before i came to my senses!

The problem is nearly fixed, basically the locksmith couldnt do anything due to the stilos all singing all dancing anti theft system, so i, with the aid of a blunt instrument managed to get into the car. Lots of glass, quite dramatic well, for the chavs in their parked cars who happened to be mid cruise in the car park!

RAC windscreens have quoted me £85 for the drivers window which is to be done in the morning so i thought that was alright!

any ho, emergency fixed, the moral of this story....i should of got a spare set of keys! and a new brain for christmas!

If its safe where it is get dealer to order a key,takes 2 days but cheap option at £40 odd.Could AA/RAC not uplift it to your house?

Have only 1 key for my stilo after losing 1, have been quoted £90+ for key n programming so still using 1 key till credit card healthier!!!

i lost the remote key and its looking like a £180-£200 job i could just cry
