Ignition key cutting

Hi Guys,

I'm having an awful time finding somewhere to get a spare key cut for my S3 ignition. I must have tried a half dozen places, a couple who seemed to go the extra mile trying to special order blanks, but it seems they are hard to come by?

Anyone know where I can order a blank key or get one cut locally in Kent / TN13?

TIA

Nick

If its the plastic head one then this...
CWE500390 DEFENDER IGNITION & MAIN DOOR KEY BLANK | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series

Don't know anywhere in Kent.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but mine has a metal head. It's not in front of me right now but I'll see if I can get a picture posted up today. From looking at your link the actual key part looks the same though.

My S3 is a 1976 diesel, for whatever difference that will make.

Snap of the key in question...

I believe it does matter because the earlier all metal one is from a different blank. Best I suggest is calling someone like paddocks or lrseries and asking. Failing that, you could always get a complete ignition switch.

Cheers Sean, that looks like a very handy link!

Thanks,

Nick

we've used them a lot - it took a leap of faith at first, emailing a picture from which they cut your key seemed hit and miss, but they've probably done 50 for us now and no fails

Well, I got a key back and... it worked! Amazing. Thanks Sean!
