Honda Security...Top Notch

[Johnnygooner]

OK, I have an old M reg Honda NH80.....It's old, but I love it.
Anyways, about 3 weeks I lost the keys, cannot find then anywhere. I have spoken to a million people, and there is no chance of getting a replacement key.
Finally, I speak to someone who advises me, that if I can get the numbers off the ignition barrel, he can cut me a key....Wow....There is hope.....

So, last night, I spend THREE hours trying to get to the ignition barrel, but no feckin joy.....Lots of screws and nuts removed, and shouted at, and blood pressure through the roof....BUT.....Cannot get to the ignition barrel...Oh Please!.

So, I put everything back together, in a REALLY pissed off mood, and as I'm doing so, my wife arrives home from work.
She says, "I bet my car key will start it"....I laugh, and very politely her to **** off....lol
You know what's coming....She gets her car key out, sticks it in the ignition...Well, feck me....It only starts..

Now, next day, I have found out...Basically ANYTHING starts it....Key, (any), knife, spanner, coin, fingernail, you name it....It starts it....

Just like old Fords then

 

[Johnnygooner]

Not quite as bad as old Fords....When you indicate, at least the brake light don't come on...lolol

 

[Badknee]

Are you old enough to remember going into a garage/ Halfrauds/car spares shop and buying your key of a big board with hundreds of keys on it from all the manufacturers, there were about ten of your key on the peg and every store had the same keys, thousands of your key up and down the country!

Reminds me of the time when I was working miles from home and parked my Citroen CX in Tesco's locking it with the keys in the ignition.

Came back, keys not in pocket . . . . Oh Dear!

Back into Tesco and bought various bits that I hoped would enable me to gain entry including a broom handle and clothes hanger as it had a Webasto (cloth) sunshine roof.

Nothing would work without considerable damage.

After about an hour someone drove in with another Citroen, different model different year.

I asked if they would try their key in my car door - hey presto!

That evening, on the 'phone, I mentioned this to my wife who later told my daughters.

The next 'phone call I was informed that me eldest had asked 'why did he not just use a coin, anything (coin, screwdriver, thumbnail) will open that old thing'.

I tried it and she was right - broke my nail though.

All the ignitions of my 40's and 50's motorbikes can be started with a screwdriver or nail file etc. as they have these rudimentary keys.

Had new '89 Mk2 Ford Sierra came with a plastic emergency key that would open any Ford of the era.

I had a car stolen some years ago, phoned police, asked me if it was an Astra, as three had gone from same leisure centre in past week. They reconed youths were using tea spoons to get in and drive....the car was found 10 miles away a few days later....on the floor was a lovely tea spoon.

You couldn’t make it up

Plant machinery always used to come with a "Lucas Key" that was the crudest key imaginable, and they were all identical. A nail bent over at 90 degrees with the end flattened a bit with a hammer worked perfectly if you had no key.

And they wonder why they had a problem with plant theft.........

Under most scooter seats there’s an immobiliser switch. No thief would ever know that would they ? Yeah right.
I use a large chain and Master padlock, but even then a determined tea leaf would just load it into a van.
