I appreciate nobody is going to post the answer on an open forum but whilst out on Saturday I had my first "oh no..." moment when my key seemingly failed to 'connect' to the car in a multi-story car park 30 miles from home.

After much frantic pressing of the fob it eventually worked and the lights flashed and the window dropped but for a few moments the missus and I were very concerned. It made me realise that I had no idea how to get into the car and get home should the key-battery ever fail.

If someone could just PM me the details of what to do. I had a Chimaera before and that was soooo easy to get into but the Tuscan has a more rigid issue to overcome.

A quick flip through my posting history on PH (and in the Tuscan section in particular) ought to alleviate any concerns about my ownership status.

Could someone please PM me with a resolution.

Ta in advance.

PS I have a Tuscan 2S due to be picked up at HHC in next few weeks. I'm not wanting to steal one haha (in case that's why no ones messaged me)
I'm not doubting you at all but I think you need to update your profile as there is not even the mention of a Tuscan-to-be on it or perhaps link to a previous posting that confirms you've actually bought one.

People on here are pretty cautious about giving this info away and rightly so.

Hi, I have just purchased a Tuscan today from macky17, any chance I could have this info PM'd for that 'just in case' moment. Cheers, Glenn
Glen: I'd love to mate but as you've only got a 4 post history and they're all after I created this thread you'll understand that with the best will in the world I can't do that. If you can PM me something to confirm what you say then I'll gladly send you the info I've been given...or get macky17 to confirm on this thread that he's sold you his car if he can't tell you how to do it himself.

Sorry chap, but you understand my position I hope.

No offence taken, macky17 didn't know himself, also there was only one key for the car and I was worried if the one key failed.

I will send you a couple of pics, can you let me know how to do this as it looks like text only 'no upload' option on pm option... could you pm me your email address or something

Cheers
