Quote:how does one lock one's keys in a D3 without having the other set with one
The same way that one locks one's car when one's driver's door latch refuses to believe that the door is firmly shut and that one should be allowed to lock and secure one's pride and joy in a.n. other scrote infested car park.
Bit of a nuisance when one is solo in the vehicle, but it works something like this:
Arrive at destination, switch off and get out as normal.
Shut drivers door as normal and blip the remote
Get greeted by a beep on the horn
Open and shut driver's door firmly and repeat step 2.
Get greeted by a beep on the horn (and are now getting inquisitive looks from onlookers and looks of pity from Toymoto Landcruiser owners)
Walk round to passenger door, open and press the lock button on the dashboard (it's at this point that one mislays one's fob).
Close passenger door and walk away.
After 20 yds, return to drivers door just to really, really check that it's locked and spot that the keys are lying on the passenger seat  . Club ATR

 V many thanks. 1 will try not to  well do that, then. 'specially given what 1's Breakdown Cover implies the s will have to do to gain entry to 1's P & J.
Is there evidence that the aforesaid Scrotes have been able to gain entry ? ? And with less damage??

So back to carrying a spare key gaffer-taped to an obscure component somewhere on the underside of the vehicle.
Does that mean the "whole thing" i.e. blade and fob? I'm told that the [b & f] costs ~ £150 including the electronic "set up" process.
