Another lock problem
« on: 20 February 2009, 19:15 »
I've noticed my drivers side lock does not open with my key by the passenger side is fine. How would I go about having this sorted, doesn't affect me what with having RCL but it does annoy me that something isn't right.

The key doesn't turn in the lock. So I'm thinking maybe the lock has been changed before I bought the car.

i believe you can get a barrel made up using your existing key - not sure on the price though
