Our old Mini van, Land Rover and BMC horsebox had ignition keys. The same one fitted them all.
My brother had a Rover 800 coupe. He parked it at Heathrow, in the Multistorey carpark. On returning to the car he plipped it and another Rover further down the row flashed and opened too.
I wrote an article for the AMOC about the DB7 called A Car for All Seasons. One of the aims of the article as far as I was concerned was to borrow a Works demonstrator every twelve weeks. The first three seasons went fine but borrowing the fourth and final car was proving troublesome. I needed to keep on at them to lend me a car without pissing in them off. Eventually they called to say I could have a Volante for the weekend but it had to be back by 8 o'clock Monday morning, no ifs or buts, clean, full of fuel and ready to go. On the Sunday we went out to take yet more photos. As Mrs C climbed in my neighbour came out to admire the car. As we talked I took off my jacket, put it in the boot, shut the boot lid and locked the keys inside. My brother had a Rover 800 coupe. He parked it at Heathrow, in the Multistorey carpark.

Ah.
The DB7 was the first fully Ford managed Aston and it had Ford locks. I asked my neighbour if he had the keys for his Orion. He laughed and said he did but he thought the chances were a bit slim. They worked, I retrieved the keys, took the pictures, had the car back to the factory on time and, assuming I'd used up all my good luck, didn't do the lottery for weeks.
Either it was a one in a million stroke of luck or all those Ford keys opened all locks.
I was told all Ford Tibbe type keys will lock any other but not necessarily open them.
This might explain why on the very first day of owning my Cosworth I had to break a window when the only key that unlocked it was inside with the engine running .
ION the Spa 24hours is about to start on Motors tv and it's wet.
Interesting....

Do you remember that I asked you about the Audi windows closing on the key?
Well mine doesn't so asked on an Audi forum and hopefully when I try their recommendations it will.
Just sayin.
With mine you hold the button down until the windows open. Or close, depending on which button you are pressing.Well mine doesn't so asked on an Audi forum and hopefully when I try their recommendations it will.
