Nearly went very wrong yesterday,the last thing the dealer said was make sure you separate the 2 keys,as the back and side doors lock themselves automatically.
So got home,loaded all my gear up,and got to my job,unloaded the van,put the keys down on the floor.
Started moving stuff into the house shut the door,heard a click,ah where are my keys ?
Oh damm,managed to lock them in the back,tried opening and closing the cab doors,nothing,tried the button on the dash,which Brit gas disconnect.
Called the dealer,it`s not looking good mate,he was calling people,while i called my insurance to see if they could send out my breakdown people,not covered.
Called a lock smith ,who basically said no chance,cant even drill out the barrels as it has dead locks on it.Dealer called me back after i had called main dealers,who had said only way is to make another key,possible weeks wait...
No idea where fuses are,to see if Brit gas just remove fuse from locking button on the dash.turns out it`s all been removed,as a security feature..
So my only option was to take out the passenger seat and cut through the bulkhead with my disk cutter,but there are racks on the other side,and a load of cables,so dealer measured on another van where i needed to cut through.
So got my job done,then customer gave me a lift home to get my tools and a cutter,knocked £20 off his bill.
Got back to van,sat in cab,leaned over pass seat and opened pass door,and heard a click,thank christ for that,got in and saw my keys on the floor,phew that was close..
Very happy i didn`t have to cut through,was a very stressful afternoon,bloke i was working for was great,and is going to give me a good write up on the village forum,also said he would do me very good leaflet delivery rates,as he works for the village mag
On the plus side my wife took me out for a slap up dinner too celebrate,will get some pics up later,my gear just looks lost in the back,so much room,will be using most of the racking i think,side shelves are big enough to carry all my 5ltr chem containers,loads of ratchet straps etc,think it was also fitted with a diesel heater at one point,as there are loads of printed instruction sheets everywhere
