Door Lock

[GMInsite]

Hi , Well today i broke my passenger lock and when i took the key out the whole lock came out of the door , I was just wondering if they make blanking covers to go over the lock as i cant afford to get the whole lock set changed .

ouch ,

either look on the bay for a kit (about fifteen quid or so) or even try a local scrappy , Or... look at five door polo's the rears are the same as and carry no lock, Ive done both my doors this way

brummy, have you been in the position where your door locks dont work? have you still got a boot lock so you can get in that way?

Well i havnt found any handles or covers on ebay or club polo . So i think ill have a go at filling it myself then get the bodyshop to colour code the handles

Why? Keep looking, saves a lot of work. Think I still have on laying around but can't think where I've seen it to.

Pop down a scrap yard, sure you will find a 5 door polo about somewhere.

I have another one but it's full of marks

 

[Brummy]

sorry, just caught up with this again.. yes, i blew my fuse recently and had to open the boot and reach in to open the door from the snib. gave me a kick up the ass to get the fuse changed rapidly, though

 

[Fl@pper]

changed both mine to lockless even though i know the boot lock is a pain in the rear to open , but hey sod it

[Dave_R]

And I can't remembere for the life of me where it is!
