Gahey!
« on: 16 November 2010, 21:27 »
Locked up my car yesterday, took the key out the lock and went up stairs to find......DUN DUN DUN...The whole bloody lock was attached to the thing....

How hard is it to fit a new lock as the mechanism has broken, thank god for central locking :)

Im guessing its the barrel thats on the key? if so then its just a case of getting a new pin that hooks over the loop on the end of the barrel. They're pretty common for breaking, ill try and find a link to a guy who sells em on egay
