Boot lock?

(1/5) > >>

I was a bit surprised to read about people having trouble obtaining boot locks. I needed one for mine, went to the local locksmith after measuring the hole, and £9 later came away with a barrel lock with bevelled cam. Fits perfectly, and for most locksmiths is a standard stock item... it keeps the boot shut too! So why does everyone else seem to have problems with this part??

They have probably never thought of it. Your are ahead of everyone now  ;) ;)

The best solutions are usually the easiest lol  :)

I bought a rear bicycle brake cable yesterday that works perfectly on the back brake of the C5... I'm still convinced that they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of having the indicator lenses specially made too... I'm still working on that one, but I'll bet that they're off of something obscure that nobody remembers...

I had to get a headlight and  front indicator once for an old 80's coach(!) and it turned out they'd used one's from a Mk 3 Cortina, so I'm going to be looking at a lot of old car photos before I rush and buy a set lol!!

I know a front indicator off of a Land Rover Defender looks the same as the front indicator on a C5.

Luke S:
That would be another easy solution for a front indicator for a c5
