Can you actually buy a set? Like door handle, boot lid handle and ignition? Or is this a stupid question?

I am gonna talk to my locksmith! :wink:

I ended up with three ignition switches and a total of 5 keys - the keys all operated in various combinations the boot doors and ignition - played around with them until I found one that did the lot - got a couple extra cut and put the rest in "safe" spot in case them are ever needed again 8)

! key for doors and boot, 1 for ignition, and 1 for petrol cap (aftermarket). 1 key would be good for the lot though.

a 20 cent piece opens the drivers door on my girlfriends car...not the passenger door. its just worn out i thinks

edit: and a nail file starts another mates car...

AND: another mates car still runs when you take the keys out, our old datto 1600 did this. i remember one time i go the keys to get into the boot, then left them on the bonnet so dad wuld see them. we drove about 15 k before he realised. and this is on the highway...

you guys have just reminded me i need to change the handle/lock in my boot back to my old original one so i can lock it again. when the car hit me, it loosened the rods that are stuck in the base of the handle, that go through the holes and you put the nuts on to hold it in place. i have some araldite - you guys reckon this would be ok to stick them back in place? or is there a better method?
