But to make me feel a little better, im told i can borrow a master frm my old work tomorrow :)

Don't think any of them would fit mine.

Mine has got splines on the outside. Came with the car so I assume it's a VW one.

Hmm security key mushing set haha :P

By master i did in fact mean the correct key to remove the bolts (as they have big case, as most dealers do, full of the 100 or so different anti theft combinations on VW bolts)
