Well the lock isn't broken but the key mechanism is. i.e. I can't open or lock the door using my key.

 

Anyways does anyone know of any mobile company who could come and fix it in the wolverhampton area. Or where would you usually get this problem fixed?

 

My lock has been dodgy since I had the car. sometimes to lock it by turning clockwise I had to go a little anti-clockwise first.

 

Also some of you may know I had an engineer who couldn't attach the toad alarm to my central locking since he couldn't fit a solenoid in the drivers door. So if you know of a company who could both fix the lock as well as attach my alarm to the central locking that would be most excellent.

 

I'm pretty annoyed since if I had had the alarm fitted to the central locking in the first place the key mechanism would probably still be working!

the plastic piece has broken... try andy at supercarparts (traders) he'll know what you mean!! I believe on late models there was a metal piece instead but guess you'd be lucky to find one!

 

It is possible to fit the passenger side on the drivers side if you struggle to find one, but forget about someone coming out to fix it - unless they made a part to fit. Easy(ish) to fix yourself - door cards off, lock out and you'll see how it clips together.

There normaly yellow plastic i fitted one the other day .I fitted a metal one from andy supercar parts .Its a door panel of job window needs to be up remove door handle 2x 10mm nuts unclip small circlip of the back of the barrel fit new one the right way round it has key way in it .And clip metal rod into it .Bit of a pain to fit . :headvswal

ok thanks guys I'l have a go at that then as soon as I get the part.

 

Funny story actually I made my girlfriend climb in through the boot to let me in. didn't even think about going in through the passenger door! hehe

Well had a go at fixing this today only I couldn't get the door PANEL off. When panel was mentioned before I thought of the door CARD. The card was a bugger getting off too though. It was that little plastic bit that was broken and replaced it but obviously I couldn't reattach it to the key unit as there wa a big door panel in the way. Oh well.
