In a moment of confusion I have put the key down somewhere for my 924, but I cant remember where, how difficult is getting a new one from OPC? yes I know I should have a spare, and yes I know it should be kept somewhere safe, and yes I know its missing cos its not in the safe place in the house...and guess wot the mrs thinks I'm a useless prat...

Got a spare one for my 944 after doing the same thing. Phone OPC giving your chassis no. They'll order & mine took 2-3 days, when you pick up you'll need V5 & passport or similar. Mine was around £26 Inc TiPEC discount. Hope that no one has changed the door locks since it was built!

I've never tried it, but I've heard that a ****** **** with a hole about the size of a 5p in it will open any car lock. line up the hole with the lock then whack it....hey presto, the lock opens.

If you do try this, tell us if it works or not.

Alls well, found the key hiding behind the shoe rack..Good job I didnt borrow Pauls spare, and yes I was told about that one years ago at Heathrow Airport, specifically told that was how criminals gained access to Porsche cars!!!

Make mental note get a spare cut.
