staufighter 3 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I have just read your thread about getting an unchipped dupe for the Nottank / rear seat. I had to call breakdown last week when the key snapped off in the Nottank lock. I have a spare but I can't re-fuel. Do I get a new lock and key? Link to post
Bigglesaircraft 293 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi possibly not the answer you were expecting but, there are many suggestions on YouTube of how to remove a key that has snapped off in the lock. I have tried a couple of them and they do actually work. Hope this helps 1 Link to post
embee 7,288 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Remember the chip in the old fob will still work as long as it is near enough to the HISS unit (ignition lock), so an unchipped key and the old fob on the same keyring will work OK in the ignition. I assume your question is regarding getting the piece of broken key out of the lock? See the post above. 1 Link to post
Andy m 23,592 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 There is a thread but I can't find it. You can get an unchipped key blank and that plus the remains of your old chipped key on the ring with it will work for the ignition. Getting the stub out of the lock will save getting a new lock. Superglueing something to the old key worked for me, but you need to really clean all the bits and give it 24 hours to set before pulling. Andy Link to post
staufighter 3 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thanks, I'll look up the suggestions on Youtube and have a go this weekend. Link to post
rjp996 1,091 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I got a cheap couple of pounds copy Honda key that allows a chip to be inserted into it. I then too the old key and cut the top, bottom and side off it and opened it up and extracted the ID chip (its just a small piece of plastic), and inserted it into the new key - all done :-) 1 1 Link to post
staufighter 3 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 If I can't remove the broken key from the Nottank lock can anyone reccommend a supplier and part number. Link to post
Mikdent 4,070 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Use half of a hacksaw or coping saw blade, snap one in half and use the end that will have the teeth facing upwards. Slidey pokey in and gently fiddle around until you feel the teeth bite the key, then slowly and patiently tease it out. It will take more than one attempt. Ive done this myself and it can be done. Good luck. Edited February 15, 2018 by Mikdent 5 1 Link to post
