Didn't JC demostrate this on Top Gear? It may well have been Top Gear, it may even have been a post on here ? but you can't help but try it.

I didn't believe when I heard it so it tried it. The other good what is that if you walk away from your car and you think "did I lock it" and you press the lock button but your too far away , hold the key to your head and it will lock it, obviously this has its limitations but it will extend the original range.Probably bad for you mind

Hi All, its been a while since I posted. This key locking is a good one and I have done it in my IS200 probably quite common it comes with being able to eject the boot without opening the car putting coat in and thinking doh. I had a new 250sr demo at the weekend and heard a strange bleep as I tried to lock the car and voila coat on back seat. Very clever. But this will help you if you do manage to lock keys in a car thats not as intelligent as the new IS Call your wife, partner whoever on their mobile phone, at home(assuming thats where the spare is) on your mobile phone stand next to the car and get whoever has the spare key to point it at their phone while you point your phone at the car, and it will unlock the car, try it its fantastic.

Was one taken inside the house and the other outside ?

Could be warped disc or seized caliper (or both) or even the balance on the wheels

Try this link Parkers

You could try unlocking the car not openning it and letting it re-lock itself. Worth a go.

The wife has these blades fitted to her C-Max and they do seem pretty good. IF you went to Halfords it would probably cost similar money for so callled "normal" blades

If he sells that using the buy it now, mine will be off the Lex within the hour Maybe it's an april fool :duh:

A few possibilities : a) seized caliper B) a warped disc c) incorrect wheel balance.

Shahz, I found it happened for a couple of days then nothing (touch wood). Atleast its not a jiggered receiver, although I guess you'll have to pay for a valet

Not sure about the screw, but as for the unlocking, I have experienced this before (more than once) it is a strange phenomena. I think you'll find that if you open the car with the key, the alarm will sound, start the engine straight away, the alarm will continue to sound for another 10 secs or so then it will stop. Move your car down the road or into the next street, get out and try locking and unlocking and it should be fine. The only "explination" is interference ?? The car thinks its being tampered with and shuts itself off. Hope this helps.

It looks like the Limited Edition and the colour Kodiak Sky. I was looking a one in Lexus Teesside, and it looks similar

I thought as much.

Thanks guys Any truth in the salesmens :tsktsk: about only producing 200 ?????
