Are these what you need? They are on ebay.

where abouts in London are you ? Volkspares in Sydenham used to do key cutting, had some done by them but was a few years ago.

That's great thank you, I'll be buying some of those!

I'll see if my local key cutters can do them

I would suggest not using your local key-cutter - as they will probably replicate existing key - with 40 years wear....

I found a man in Scotland/Ebay who cut keys to Volkswagen number - the keys he supplied worked much better than the original (worn) key.

Point being - get the keys cut from the VW number - not copied from old keys if possible.

I did get the petrol cap key "copied" by local cobbler/keycutter as there was not other option I could find - and that worked fine -

Hope that helps

thats great, do you mean the number on the existing key? do you have any of the details from the guy in scotland

my key is pretty worn so thats probably a good idea

thanks again
