One of the boys managed to lose the only key we had to a 03 Transit Tipper over the w/end - 2 x new keys with immobiliser chip and on site programming = £180

Gypos paid the yard a visit:
1 x Brian James Plant trailer - gone
1 x JCB Patch Planer - gone

Think thats Plant Trailer no.4 we've lost over the last 10-20 yrs.

thats a reel bummer. :( . a few months ago, had mini digger on a job, parked up with the door tigt in some bushes. in morning went to mini and wondered if side window would open from the outside and yes it would. leaned through and started digger and opened door and left it to warm up. went back 10 mins after, jumped in shut door, shut window and tracked it out. it was cold so put heater on, left it running and jumped out shutting the door behind me. :p . as soon as i did it i thought oh no i have'nt unlocked the door on outside. so i am well and truely fooked. could'nt find anyone with a spare key. after a hr or so i levered the side window out and got the catch off. never again.

If it makes you feel any better £180 is often the cost for just one key from a main dealer
