Tuning Locked out... help!

[sunflower888]

Hi

Ive just locked my keys in my car, arghhh. Dont ask how, stupid thing.

Does anyone know how to open it, as I can't locate the spare at the moment?

Thanks.

fastest way is to smash the drivers window or screwdriver in the rear lock and turn

Turn it left or right? For the boot

I have a second spare but that key had snapped, I'm going to see if they can cut the spare from it to open the door first.

Update:

Managed to get in, PHEW!, found and old spare key that had snapped in half, and took it to the key cutters and got one done and bingo it opened!

£7 for a plain key cut, pretty cheap. £40 if you need the coding.

Incidentally last night I tried the coat hanger method to try to break into my own car, and it didn't work at all. Funny scene it was.

well done..,
TBH £40 for a pattern working key is still good value,

I still remember the "Watchdog" episodes - where people LOST their old Mk1 Punto MASTER keys, and it was a £700 bill back in the late 90's

Yes I heard that about the red keys.

there is still a stigma on buying/selling fiats without the red keys. People have asked me if i have the red key for cars that never had red keys and i don't just mean later mk1 puntos, things like my old stilo people where asking me if i had the red key and then looking at me like I am a liar when i explain that it never had a red key and that fiat stopped doing it years and years ago.. And tbh, even car that had a red key you can get new keys made for pretty easily these days - i like to see them but thats just because its nice to see that the previous owner(s) have cared enough to not lose it in a drawer somewhere and forget about it, shows a little bit of love and attention to still have the key you never ever use.

In fiats defence though, back when they made the red keys - it was really really hard to start a fiat without the proper key, and pretty much impossible to clone one without the red key. They did do what they were meant to, just slightly took the **** with the price of a replacement. Which if you ever have to replace a modern car key you will know, costs the earth - or the key itself is cheap but they want hundreds to code it (about 20 seconds of an tech guys time).

I never mentioned the MASTER key's colour. ;-)

Ok, so I had my keys also locked in my car... What you do is: Take an iron rod and bend it the way that you could reach the inner door handle and pull it.. Now take a flathead and put in in top of the door and pull till you have just enough space to slide in the rod... (doors bend).. Thats how i did it and no damage!

or take a tenis ball and it will open as seen on youtube!!
