Boot lock............
« on: 26 May 2007, 20:25 »
Is this an easy job? Any pointers of where I should start? I need to change it asap as at the moment you can open the lock with your finger nails!

Yes mate this is an easy job just finished mine
 1.Take plastic covering off from the inside of the boot lid
2. You will see the metal bar (small) going to the boot lock itself, where this metal bar is attached to the lock, just flick it out of its housing (using a bit of a push)
3. The hardest bit, where you see the boot lock going into the boot skin, you will see two plastice lugs, once pushed in the lock will then pull out, but again a bit of force is required:
  Takes less than 10mins......

Good Luck
