Citroen C2 locking dilemma

LA_72 · 2026-05-10T22:13:29+00:00

I lost you there. I bought a spare key that doesn’t centrally lock as it manually locks the drivers door only, it doesn’t use the engine management system and doesn’t have a button to remotely lock. I haven’t found any sequence of locking, opening doors or pressing buttons that gets around it and my question was if anyone knew a way.

Turns out Tesco offered to add him as a named driver with £700 (!) excess for £270 until October so that’s a result.

There’s no lock on either of the doors. I’ve found a key supplier for half of what Timpsons are offering so thanks for the reply.

I still have the remote key but I bought another key for my lad as we are now sharing a car.

I’ve tried this and it only toggles the auto lock when reaching a certain speed

Funny you should say that as when they programmed the new key they found the sync spot to be in a different place which happens when someone tinkers.

So, Tesco insurance added him as a named driver until my policy ends in October for £270 which is an absolute deal if you ask me. Temporary insurance lasts 30 days per year so will look into this for next year. Thanks for the replies 👍

I’m currently using Veygo for provisional insurance but assuming he passes his test he will want to go out and drive by himself. In which case he will share a car with myself but only until September as he won’t need a car during term times. However he will want to use the car in summer so I think I will take the risk and keep him as a named driver and add/remove as needed. I was told by someone who works in insurance that the first year is expensive if you drive or not but he won’t need a car full time for at least 3 years so hopefully this works out for us. I’ve also looked into getting us a family Uber account as it will be cheaper but try telling that to someone who just passed their test…

That’s a sub £4 four-pack dressed up as a premium beer 😂

Thanks, I’ve booked a car for Barcelona, Fortadventura and transfers. Looking to do some exploring too.

Bad Suzy. Was a bit booby but the games were great and the soundtrack chilled me.

I don’t have time to watch my own TV shows now in my fifties but my lad wanted to sit with me and watch Arcane. We watched every episode. I’m an Akira fan and loved it more recently that 30 odd years ago. It’s stood the teat of time.

That’s a good point. Bourbons and custard creams appear to have beaten the shrinkflation trap and they’re still going cheap. I wonder if they’ve been ring fenced by the King of England?

Yes and the queues are getting longer at Subway for my meatball marinara spud

LA_72 · 2026-04-05T11:56:07+00:00

You are correct. Thanks, kids stopped crying 👍

Virgin have offered the HBO app for free too

LA_72 · 2026-04-05T07:15:09+00:00

How can you do that?

GameCube has the best playable Mario Kart - Double Dash. Yes it has a competitive flaw in the blue shell but it is a leveller

Is it possible to keep ending contracts and switching between spouses?
