hi there, mk1 with no keys.......

guys iv got a small problem! i just bought a new mk1 tin top but it has no keys  ops:  need help with stering lock any ideas??

Hiya John, glad to see you're posting now :borg:, you'll have to put your project piccies up. Best move might be to drill out ignition barrel then get a new(ish) one at a later date.

borrow someone else's keys.
there all the same. haha

take the door lock off and go to your friendly local lock smith.
they can make a key to match that which should fit the ignition lock.

I agree with novocaine, thats the best thing you could probably do.

How much locksmith?? How much barrel and key on here??  :dontknow:
T'was just a thought, credit crunch 'n' all that  :wink:
You not got a barrel & key on the 1.6 Cab you're breaking/selling?

woah fella. not slating your idea just giving an alternative.

i like the fact i'm still on the original key. :dontknow:

think a lock smith will charge in the region of 20 notes to create a new key.
you'll need to know the key type though to make his/her life easier.

(i think it's AH :dontknow: )

Sorry mate, never meant it like that  8O
Jumped to the conclusion that a locksmith wasn't cheapish  8O
Can fully understand the original key thing  
Back to Mah Jong  ops:



 

good idea. think i'll go back to chess.

had this problem myself once (broke my only key) did what novocaine said called an auto locksmith after i broke into the car and removed the door lock (3 screws) told him the type of key eg. ah or vb and he cut it too the barrel. good luck finding someone who cuts keys like that as it took me a while.....
