Mk2 locks

[cняis]

im gonna prob buy a lock kit off ebay and not use the aftermarket handles that come with it just swap the lock barrells then i have origional handles still. and strangley enough crntral locking working again now but wont last lol.

this is what i had to do, as the replacement handle wore out within 3 months and wouldnt press down the latch hard enough.

tidied up the original handle and swapped the barrel, easy peasy (1 screw and a spring).

make sure you put a key into the barrel before removing it!! otherwise the pins fly everywhere (you'll lose them & the tiny springs)

I did that with my last car. But then figured if I took all the pins out of all the other locks, one key would fit all rather than the 3 keys that I had before.

Trouble was, any key would fit. So would a knife, a spoon, a twig, if fact anything could unlock my car.
