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

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.
