Hello all,
I want to replace the little outside door locks on Sal, can you still buy the little locks new?

Thanks

Lynda

Yes. You can get even better ones - search for "Solex locks"

Who would sell them? Are they a Mini lock or an any car lock?

There are generic solex lock kits as well as specific models, don't think the mini is listed though. Autobarn and supercheap sell them.

They are supposed to be harder to break in, but just like anything you can just break a window or 1/4 vent and you're in, i don't like them. There is no dust seal which causes rain, dust and dirt to get in and they can seize up. They don't suit the look of the car and a huge.

There was a locksmith on this forum that fitted door locks from a Toyota or something like that. The door key matched the Clubman ignition key.
