There is one more shop I have not tried, if they don't have it I'll see if my dad will let me send it to you

Hi Chas,

while we are on the subject of keys and locks, can you mod a lock to fit a key?

Reason I ask is I have a twin battery model with one lock missing and no key for the second. I also have a spare lock with key that also fits the boot, but the key doesn't fit the lock in the C5. I'd like if possible to have one key fitting all of the locks.

Cheers.   KarlG.
