A kit is available to enable you to change the locks to suit your key.

This is how to do the boot lock of a saloon.

its not very clear what you have to do at the end....maybe im just being thick :D

i went to the scrapyard and got a set of locks off an e30 that fitted my key anyway. my key fitted 4 out of the 5 e30 ignition barrels in the scrappy. old keys/barrels are pretty crap i guess :D

i got annoyed with the whole '2 key' situation in my cab when i bought it, so i got remote central locking...so the only key i really need is the ignition one.
