Selfknowledge is a beautiful thing.
No accidents yet, but i would be interested in the "how to" In case i left my keys in the trunk...

With me, these things to happen are just a matter of time

Cheers!

Unfortunately it doesn't work for the S2, so don't do it!

"Just a quick thank you for trying to help me with a problem after locking my keys in the boot of my S2 in Spain! We had to drill the lock in the end, El Bandito charged me 130 euro for that honour!
I have replaced the barrel of the lock using the exact match and key number from Vauxhall. The barrel is from a Viva, Mark 2 Astra or VX220 fuel cap. Cost £30.
Please post on the forum, hope it helps."

I don't suppose anybody has a GM part number for this 'Viva, Mark 2 Astra or VX220 fuel cap' barrel - as all S2 lock parts are now out of supply from Lotus it is likely that more and more people will be needing to trace non-Lotus lock barrels as time goes by. As Lotus built the VX220, why can't they stock the barrel for us....?

I am about to find out if the replacement locks I purchased will fit, the key is the same as the ignition all be it mine is a N/A, so would be the same as an SE. If I have it worked out correctly then I should end up with one key for the ignition, the doors and boot. May take a look at the glove box but not too worried about that one. This should also be the same type of locks as fitted to the S2, Nova/astra MKII.
Cost of 3 locks with the key matched to my ignition key, just sent a picture of the ignition key, was £60.00 or £20.00 a lock + 2 keys.
My intention is to start with the boot as I have a newly painted boot and spoiler to fit tomorrow, so I'll take some pictures and post my results.
