Not going to hijack NM42's thread, if he's sorted for keys etc, then, and only then if there's any more out there for cheap money (dont mind about things like iffy batteries, even grotty looking keys buttons not a problem) then all the better!

But Mr. NW42 must have first dibs! 

AH, sorry, thought everyone had the dubious pleasure of reading the thread from a few days previous!!

The list- Full lock set (though solenoids arent 'coded' or vehicle specific, are they, so not required) two keys, door lock, ignition barrel and required ecu etc, and facelift leccy bootlid opening mechanism.

cheers pal, proper gent. 

Decent place this, almost wishing I was an enthusiast rather than only being here because I want summat.
In saying that, I have nothing but good things to say about the car, best all rounder I've ever had, drinks more than me around town but decent on a motorway run, comfy drive, always starts(when the key turns), got plenty on the kickdown etc etc.  I would never shy away from having another based on my experience with this one.

Who knows I may become an enthusiast after all, some leather seats would be a nice touch, do they come cheap?

Airbags  , cheers for that, I think I'll stick at the barrel and keys for now.

CHeers Welung, you're always there for me! If Im honest Im going to say no, for now, as its probably going to be more practical to get the whole lot from one person - however - you're name has been put on the shortlist, so may well be contacting you again in the future, yet!

And to NW newbie, yeah, this is a great place. Just wanted to make the point that I wasnt trying to get in there ahead for you. Didnt want anyone thinking Im using my 600-odd posts to carry any weight, as it were, as if Im 'more reliable' or something because I have more posts that you, if you follow!

There's no great rush for the lock set, as soon as a set at a sillycheap price comes up, then I'll be there 


And keep looking our in for salewanted, leather interiors are always coming up, varying prices, if you want black thats deeead easy to find.

I know what you mean, I haven't proved myself here yet, well I have but only as an unobservant character (of course there is a keyhole).
I will bow to your 600 posts and just hope to pick up the scraps from your table. Who knows if I start having plenty of problems with the car I may overhaul you.
In the meantime cheers for the warm welcome.

Well thanks for the advice but I think I'm sorted with wellung, having a ride out to the black country at the weekend.
Really appreciate the help on here, thank you.  Does the place rely on donations/contributions to keep it going? Happy to throw a bit in the pot if it helps.
