Morning,
Yesterday was an absolute nightmare. Started off OK, took a drive down to the mountains, walked aroung some alpine lake getting a nice suntan, all very nice. Then we took out a boat and it started to go wrong. Cant be sure it was then but baheid here managed to lose the car key.
It was only a small town so we asked all the shops, hotels etc on the way back to the car but no joy. Got back to the car and it wasnt lying around there either so went over to the car park attendant and asked if I could use his phone. Phoned the ADAC(German AA equivalent) and they said they would be there in an hour but would only take the car to the nearest train station, not all the way home.
Guessed it was better than nothing.Anyway, the boy came and opened the car in about 3 seconds
so we could get the house keys out. He put a little plastic wedge into the top of the door, then fed in what looked like a blood pressure thing and started blowing it up. The top of the door moved away from the body and he had a big bag of different attachments to stick through and pull the handle.So then he lifts the car up onto the trailer with some sort of pulley attached to the front of the car. After letting the handbrake off of course!! He took us to the train station, dropped the car off the trailer, locked the car again (which was a hell of a lot more difficult than breaking in!!) and left us to make our way home. 2 hours each way later, we were back at the same place and took the car back home.
Anyway, enough background info, stop laughing please!!! How much does a new key cost? And what do they need from me to get one?
Secondly, why the funk did the alarm never go off during any of the breaking in or towing?
Thnx
