I have now managed to lose the pins from both ignition keys. These keep the ring on it that enables you to attach it to a key ring. I also lost the ring for one. Does anybody know if I can get replacemnets - seems a rediculous design
cheers

They aren't just pins they are the emergency so you can get in the car if the battery is flat.

Thanks - I realise the platic key is inside and have had to use it before when I have had a flat battery (once I discovered where the key hole is in the door handle) - it's just the pin to keep the key ring.

Funny you should bring this up, my key did this, and seen as my Fiancee wouldn't swap me keys, I decided to mention it when it went in for service. Only to sicken me off when he said I'd have to buy a whole new key! I'm sure he quoted me over £200 I just stood at the parts department and said it was the pin I needed, for him yet to say no sir you'll need a new reprogrammed key. I was disgusted!
In the end I went home, got a paper clip, cut a straight bit to size of the pin, bent it slightly in the middle and pushed it in, nice and tight and won't come out! Not how I wanted it done but better then paying for a new key!
