There's a guy that rebuilds diamond keys as well, though I wouldn't argue with just biting the bullet and buying a new one.



Just another one of the fun and exciting ways these cars break. Fun and exciting for people who like to fix them, not so much for people who just like their cars to work.

Yup indeed no time to be dabbling alas....
