 Getting an ignition key cut with no RP or key number A quick question. I have a ignition/steering lock assembly and a matching V5 (for a Y-reg 2CV) but no RP number, and no key.
Is it possible to find out the missing info to get a key cut - i.e quoting the chassis number to a Citroen dealer for example?
Thanks!
Will

Re: Getting an ignition key cut with no RP or key number Some years ago,I lost the keys [door & ignition] to my [then] Visa 652 .....I had to take the log book [in my name],and proof of identity [passport/driving licence/bank statement/etc... ] ....to the local Citroen Main Stealer [sorry "Dealer" ] and they took the numbers off the log book and traced the key number and got me a new pair of keys......took about two weeks to get them though.

Re: Getting an ignition key cut with no RP or key number Thanks. I'll try the local Cit dealer as a start then. They are fairly 'old skool' and have previously been pretty helpful with my strange historical requests (decals for an AXGT5, random BX stuff, Visa bits etc) so hopefully they can help.

Re: Getting an ignition key cut with no RP or key number Doesn't everybody just remove the steering lock completely. They are such a pain and fail at the most inconvenient time. Replaced all of mine with this http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/V ... /sw601.jpg

Re: Getting an ignition key cut with no RP or key number Indeed that's the easiest/cheapest option, I'm mainly fueled out of curiosity on this.

How do you prevent the car from being stolen if you have one of those?

I never used to lock mine on the basis that a stanley knife would always get you into a 2CV

Re: Getting an ignition key cut with no RP or key number How do you break a steering lock with a stanley knife?
