I have just had to replace yet another casing for my car key as it's completely snapped in half...

I don't have Schwarzenegger spade hands but I notice that i have to replace the casing around twice in a year... For the past month it's been held together with supereglue and before that sellotape...

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm giving the key man at lamcy good business!

Thanks in advance

Wow... So more common than i thought! I,ve used superglue but it snapped where the screw is. I go to Lamcy and it costs 140dhs and you need your driving license. The key cutting booth is next to Boots

Superglue worked a charm for us. Been holding 2 years now!

Mine just broke last week when Dh threw the keys down the stairs to me. went to Al Futtaim and quoted it would be just 1300dhs to replace it. told them basically where they could stick their quote and now working on the super glue theory.

Nope me 2! mine snapped about 6 months back, but was able to hold it together with super glue and so far(touch wood) its been ok. toyota wanted to charge me 500dhs to replace it and it would take 15 days! Where do you get yours repalced and for how much?
