Call your local OPC (Dealer) with your chassis number.

I think you need to provide your V5 as well to prove you the owner?

I did this with the 944. My OPC supplied a replacement key in 2-3 days from the chassis number. I needed V5C & proof of ID (passport) to collect it. I think it was around £27 with TIPEC discount.

But what happens if the locks have been changed?

Did you have one key for all the locks?

You'd be broke? New locks and keys all round I imagine?

Maybe try another 944/924 key. Had a similar problem last year when an indie locked my keys in the car for collection.
Had gone through all the worst scenarios and costs before the indie tried another 944 key and it opened first time.
Not great for security, but I was pleased!

Well done, a second set might be a wise investment :)
