Put up a post a little while ago and mentioned that my car had been broken into but i havent had the time to replace the passenger side lock which has been smashed to bits by what i would assume was a screwdriver or something. What would i need to do to get a lock that matches my current key? Would i just need a lock with a different key just for that door? Cheers

I would just get a different key, maybe fit remote central locking, and just not use the spare key.

Don't delock!

How come?

Just unnecessary in my opinion, plus I know people who have had remote central locking kits fail and had issues getting into their car. I think remote central locking is fine, but just leave the locks there just in case ;) Dump the second key in a draw somewhere just in case you have to get in your car and haven't got your ignition key. Winner me thinks :P

If the rcl fails then there's always the boot haha

I know someone who totally delocked their car, including boot. Went on holiday and came back to find the battery completely flat.

Not fun.

years ago i did a complete delock on a ford cossie of mine , but i had a place under the car where i could plug in and open the doors should the worst happen (and it did)

I've got a similar issue with the passenger side door lock. Didn't think to check it worked before buying.

The door can be opened from the inside, but the lock with key makes a few noises but nothing happens, the lock and surround are lose and could be tugged out, so a retaining clip must be missing inside.

I've taken the interior panel off, but the lock is right inside the frame and a b to reach. Any one got tips on what should be going on in there?
