I've heard that the door/boot keys have only about 20 blanks. Indeed they
are interchangeable on two of my cars. But ignition keys...? Years ago we
had both a Nissan 210 and an 810 (circa '80) and I used the wrong key in
the 810 one day. It went in, turned, started, but it took a trip to the
locksmith to get it back out!
