New Door Lock

[mustie]

Hi went of to work last night put the key into the passenger lock turned it and nothing happened ( door did'nt unlock ) so tryed again and this time both front electric windows went down ( strange not done it before ) ..

 

Looked at it this morning and the lock just spins round and the door stays shut ( ok with boot / drivers lock ) where can i get a replacement lock or lock with the handle do they come as one unit ????

 

if i get a new lock do i need a new key as well ???

 

just seams that the car over the last six months i have just been paying out on it every 4-5 weeks a small fortune cv joints , tyres , full exhaust window motors

 

 

anyone point me in the direction of the euro parts web site ???

 

 

Thanks guys n girls

You may not have known, but it's what they're supposed to do. Turn the Key in either front door lock towards the front of the car and all (powered) door windows go down - useful for venting the car when you return to it on a hot day. Turn the key towards the back and all open windows close - including the rear quarter lights.

Anyone know of a good web site to get a lock and key from as fords quoted me

have a look here

 

This guy is having the lock re-pinned - would save on a new key, it also appears that some parts of the lock are available separately may be you can repair you lock..

Hi, when I had this happen I swapped the front door handles over as I never use the passenger lock anyway ....oh and I am tight.

Yep, seems a plan to me. And one less lock for potential theives to attack.... Why not get a spare rear passenger side handle from a brakers and fit that too?
