It's why we took off the door buttons, but I once locked myself out of Alex by the side door!

it could have been worse you could have done it in the middle of the show field at the NSVA show with loads of people watching and laughing like i did last year

best bet is to hide a spare key somewere, could always come in handy.

u could always put the keys on a chain attached to you waist..

Ive got one of those alarms that auto locks all the doors 10 seconds after starting the van. started the van one day then jumped straight back out to do something......clunk, doors all locked engine still running.......bo**#**ks My windscreen had a big crack in it so thought id break in through that as it needed a new one anyway.......jesus christ, didnt realise windscreens were that tough lesson learnt

[Guy88]

i tried that ,but i snapped the ignition key in the barrel when i forgot to take it out before getting out of the van
ive now got remote central locking and my ignition key unclips from the rest of the keys so if i lock the doors with the keys in the van i still have the door key on my belt

best bet is to hide a spare key somewere, could always come in handy.

make sure its a third key as my mates insurance company refused to pay out on the grounds that he only had one set of keys
(they suspected it was a fraudulent claim and he had given the spare keys to someone to take the car )
