Post by: trafficfaceGTI on 05 November 2010, 20:42
i have non central locking and id like to know how to lock the boot. im sure this seems stupid but yes its happening i cannot figure it out.

The drivers side barrel has been changed. The car probably got broken into in its former life and the tealeaf b@astard bust the lock. Are there any marks below the door handle where it has been repaied or is there an armoured door plate?

Remember the car is getting on a bit locks get damaged and worn. It's not uncommon for there to be different keys. I have three keys for mine and its just something you get used to.

what you need are a few donor lock barrels.

strip them of the pins

refit pins to suit your key

job done!
