That's good news, I'll be in the market for new keys as I only have one which is looking quite tired now. Neil, do you know if Craig takes card/paypal or is it cash only? Would need to come prepared.

Would it be worth making a new thread for those wanting keys cut so Craig knows in advance?

We will do as soon as he confirms he's definitely coming
He's known about it for some time but we are still finalising all details . . .

Cool, can't make that unfortunately. But if anyone down here wants it done and can't make it let me know and I'll let Craig know.

That's what I paid for them back in 2015, and they are a good solid chunky key.

I'd be interested in something better to handle than the Audi keyless key for the D3.s..... If he's figured how to do these now.

I'll ask if he's got the (very expensive) updated equipment he was looking at to do that

If I could upgrade my D3's keys, I may actually make the annual meet!

If Craig does have it, any photos of what style keys he can do for the D3? It was your photo of the Bentley key that persuaded me to get them for the D2.

I've tried to get hold of Craig from down here a couple of times.
I've got a tame locksmith down here who can cut the keys and program the immo for me, so I'd like him to supply me with a couple of Bentley blanks.
We got as far as part nos and chassis numbers to make sure we got the right remote frequency and transponder combo, but then he hasn't been back in touch.

I would really like him to supply me the uncut keys, as you guys have been raving about their quality!
I'd be happy for someone else to send them to me if he doesn't want to do it himself... Michaela?
