I've been trying to get some information together for my brother who has a standard Ford Fiesta 1.3 1998 with lock problems.
He bought the car from a friend and the driver lock never worked. He'd have to unlock the passenger door and climb over which wasn't a problem for him. Now the passenger lock is knackered and the only way he can get in is through the boot!
Has anyone any advice to pass onto him? Anyone know about changing the locks (it doesn't have central locking). I suppose he could keep the original key for ignition/immobiliser and new key for new locks?
Is he likely to get new locks at a breakers?
I've advised him to buy a Haynes manual and I've looked on other forums, but the Ford one is currently being updated and therefore closed :crazy:
TIA
