Title: What's it take?
Post by: BazaJT on 07 December 2015, 18:53:08
Mate of mine is a "technician" at a Ford dealership,and today had a Focus in for repair.Car is one of those keyless ignition types and customer had put both key fobs in centre console[on same key ring]and car had locked itself with him on the outside.Breakdown services managed to open it for him,so all good.So instead of separating key fobs and keeping one outside of car[or just putting both in his pocket or something]he cheerfully did exactly the same thing again and car locked him out :o Not best pleased when breakdown services charged him for second go at opening it for him :-[ Ok car shouldn't lock itself with key fobs inside,but surely you'd have thought he'd learn from first experience and not require a second go? ::)

You don't have much to do with the general public, do you?

This happened to wifey, costing me a 45 mile round trip with the spare key. But she had put her handbag under a load of stuff in the boot, so the receptor couldn't see the fob. It shouldn't happen if the fob is in the cabin.

He should of put the spare key in a safe place, like the glovebox  :P

Didn't think people from west side used keys etc to enter cars. :)(,I know cheap shot).

Looking at the facts:

1) He bought a Focus
2) He bought one with poxy proximity security


And you're surprised he's a bit dumb :o
