V50 Key snapped in lock
2006 V50
An impatient son has broken the key. It’s left the insertion stub in the lock but the body of the key is out.
They can’t remove the retained stub. I’ll be there on Monday. The care isn’t need for the moment.
They tell me the key went to the off position, so I’m guessing I might be able to grab it with a forcep to remove it?
otherwise it’ll be the RACV.

Racv won't be much good.
Call a locksmith.
Thanks. D'ya think I'll be able to pull the remnants out? It's in the off & out position.
Give it a go
That’s the plan when I get to it
Popped straight out.
no issue, probably lucky it was in the out position.
Well done!
Mark at Berry Motor Group can get new keys.
Luckily I do have a spare.
I also have a spare key shell but transferring the innards to it doesn’t start the car. It does turn the lights etc on though.
