    I Think you will have to get a Mobile COmmodore locksmith, (i think) They can plug there computer in and get the key code, & make a new key head & cut key for the barrel.

    I think it would be near impossible to hotwire, what with the immobilizer, etc. The old Holdens (or any old car) were easy, but I think like said above, dive in the river, then you'd have to dry the key head, etc.
    And even if someone did know how to do it, you'd be lucky to be given instructions on a forum. + you'll have to break steering lock........

    even if you could hotwire it you still have the steering lock so you wouldnt get far

    only way is with a key as already mentioned, immobilizer will stop you, an if you manage to get around that then the steering lock is the next problem

    i would seriousally start looking in the river.. hopefully find it.. dry it out.. and then use it to at least turn the barrel.. then u can hot wire it.. ive seen it done before.. but still u probs are looking at a mobile mechanic and the price of a new key/bcm

    Sorry i took so long to reply, dodgy phone signal, im home now. we ended up finding the keys in the end, they werent quite in the river but caught in some sticks and stuff on the bank.

    The driver had a couple too many the first night and fell off the bank and got a bit wet! haha crisis averted though, thanks for the help anyway, may as well let this thread die now.
    cheers, oscar.
