Car Thieves Tried To Steal My Felicia

Featured Replies

Hi, A Few Days Ago Some Stupid Car Thieves Tried To Steal My Car.

They Have Broken The Drivers Door Lock, The Barrel Just Spins Round When I Put The Key In It. Also, They Got Into The Car And Tried To Start It By Smashing A Screwdriver Into The Ignition Barrel And I Now Can't Start The Car.

The Car Is A Felicia 1.3 MPI.

Could Anyone Help Me With How I Replace The Ignition Barrel And Drivers Door Lock?
I Am No Good At Doing This Sort Of Work Haha. Pictures Would Really Be Appreciated.

Thanks :)

Better Let A Professional Do It.

You Can Try DIY But You'll End Saying Like Me :wall:

No Matter If Anyone Will Post REALLY Relevant, Annotated Photos (Which I Doubt Very Much)

Yeah, That's What I Was Thinking Really, But How Much Do You Reckon It Would Cost A Garage To Fit A New Ignition Barrel And Drivers Door Lock And Code The Key To The Locks?

I Have Literally No Money At The Moment, I Had To Have A Lot Of Work Done To The Car For It To Pass The MOT. 

Thanks For Your Help.

How do you manage to do a capital letter for each new word in the paragraph? :)

 

If you are lucky you will find a donor car in a scrapyard that you can take the items you need from, and the removal process will teach you something about how to remove and refit on your own car. :thumbup:

Thanks For The Reply Devonutopia, It's Not Hard To Do A Capital Letter For Each New Word, I Have Been Doing This For Ages :).  I Will Get A Quote And See How Much It Will Cost A Garage To Fit New Parts. I Could Easily Code The New Key To The Lock Myself. 

If It Is Too Expensive, I Will Try And Do It Myself. 

Also, Would A Haynes Manual Cover The Repair Or Have Any Useful Information About How To Do The Repairs?

Niceyellow Vrs, The Reason Why I Do This Is Because I Think It Looks Neater :) 

You can remove your chips from your old keys its so easy to swap the bits your self.... find a scrapyard and have some fun its a easy repair to do. Haynes manual is ok for some things.

If you have a air bag disconnect battery 1st... and do whats needed..... then before connecting battery leave ignition on then connect battery this should stop air bag logging a fault leaving you with air bag light on..

I guess so, but it's gramatically incorrect, and your shift button must be knackered. ;)
