Here's my keys.... original keyring from dealer plus pink Mini

fatsax · Jan 25th, 2007, 10:13 PM

just the normal dealer one for me.

keyrings are bad for ignition barrels anyway as they put stress on the connecting points of the key to the barrel and after time can cause problems.

Are you sure? - even with a key the length that the MINI ones are?

You would have to have a seriously heavy keyring to have a large enough moment to cause damage.

used to work for a car audio/alarm fitting company and have seen many cars with damaged barrels due to the keys haveing heavy key rigns on them so a just dont dont bother with any really at all.

but your right about the length of the mini key so it shouldnt affect it that much but only time will tell.
