Spare key!

I have a 54 plate 5.5 but I only have 1 key with the lock, unlock and boot lock buttons on the fob. The questions are... where do I have a new key cut and would it be wise to have a 3 button fob or would just a key suffice.

Re: Roof gutter strip

When I bought my 5.5 the O/S strip was missing. I managed to source a replacement from a scrapyard for the princely sum of £5.00 I removed the N/S one, cleaned them both up and used a dob of clear silicon , front and rear to prevent them flying off in the future. Result As an aside....I have to agr...

Re: General faults

Like I said...there is no sign of water ingress at all in that area. It really is bone dry.

What do you mean by vag-com?

Re: General faults

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've had the box out from under the carpet as suggested but there is no trace of moisture anywhere. The plugs are all in place and it's dryer than a dry thing......
