Hi ya,

i swear soon i'll stop bombarding you with peugeot problems 

However, i woke up in a cold sweat last night as i had a realisation......

i am picking up a new door for the pug this week as the old on is wrecked. but i hadnt even considered her key not fitting! lol

how on earth does one solve this?

Swap the lock cylinders over.
They're probably only attached with a spring clip and the actuating rod. Another opportunity to practice some swearing.

Will do mate, thanks.

Do you know what to do about the central locking? By swapping the lock over is the transponder on that?

Transponders sit somewhere near the ignition barrel so they can 'talk' to the chip in the key. Swapping over the mechanical lock / barrel is enough, the key will operate the central locking via switches in the lock. If it's remote locking, you could even leave it as it is ....... just don't let the battery run flat

There's always the passenger door and the boot

Thanks Andy,

So just to be clear, if I replace just the door lock where the key goes then it'll be all good?

Yes 

Or don't bother, if central locking, and just keep the spare door key on your ring for emergencies.............

Take the door card of and if you see two screws.....yes. If not...no.

[Gaffers]

If it's a peugeot the procedure is simple:

1. Move car so that wall or solid object is just off the side of the door that needs removing
2. Open said door
3. Reverse hard

It cant do anymore damage than removing it with tools can do on a car made of swiss cheese.
