Phil 3747 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 A friend has a 2008 Mark 1 Ka and the outside driver's door lock has stopped working - a common fault I believe ? As our local Fraud dealer wanted £106+vat for a new one, I've ordered a new barrel and key off eBay for £8 instead and will be fitting it in around 10 days when it arrives, but looking on Youtube it says that a plate which is held on with 2 rivets has to be drilled off first which allows access to the barrel inside the door. Is this correct or can it be accessed without ?? Also, I am assuming that the new key does NOT have a transponder inside and will merely manually open the door and operate the central locking ??

Phil 3747 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 The new locks arrived yesterday and I've just fitted them...the 2 rivets did need drilling out to access the lock and there was some sealant that needed cutting through as well but the job, although a bit fiddly, was relatively straight forward. The new key does NOT haver a transponder but operated the central locking ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
