Lost car key - Joe1979
My car keys has been stolen last week and I have not got a spare for it. I have asked AA to open tht door lock for me and I have the key for the ignition (it is different from the door key), and have left the door unlock so I can get access to the car and drive it. I have ordered a lock set to replace the old ones (they have not arrived yet). However I was going to put some fuel in it and released that I havent got the key! Any suggestion? Thanks

Can you get the AA to open it? Or contact local police station, they might be able to help, they once got into a friends car for him, they might be able to do something. Sorry that's all I can think of.

What you mean the fuel filler cap is locked?
Just use a big flat blade and turn the barrel hard.
That's what the local chavs keep doing to my Grandad's car! :(

You may well find a solenoid with a manual operating lever behind the trim in the boot
