has anyone got a copy of the instructions for this before I make a mess of it

I've done it before a few times but that was too long ago....

how much does it cost to get the bits for a new barrel? Mine is a bit wonky and i've thought of replacing it before - this may be the cheaper solution

cheers for the link
this would be easier if I had an old one to take apart, but having said that one of the tin-top ones is acting up now

I take it it doesn't matter where you put the springy spacer then ?


you get the whole barrel as a kit for £10 - £15 (everything thats in my pic above)

I got 2 new keys and the kit for something like £25 from ford

the springy spacer is the last spacer to go in,they're easy,tumbler then solid spacer and repeat,cap on and tap around to secure,line up the grooves and rest pin in then put the little end in and insert into the barrel with curclip.
