Subject: Rear Boot Lock and Key
THis is the last lock I needed to access to have a key cut.
Remove the strip of carpet from leading edge platform to boot, which is glued in place.
This will reveal two pieces of raised panel across the car. This covers the steel fuel tanks balance pipe (1.5 inch diameter), and the panel is held in place 3 by self-taping screws to boot floor and there are 3 more on leading edge of boot. You need to prise off the boot lip seal to allow top 3 screws to be removed. There is also a section of black tape covering the join of the two panels which needs to be removed.
This then shows the boot lock assembly, four more screws to undo, and this then allows with some fiddling removal of the whole unit.
The lock assembly has two rivets which need to be drilled out, and this then separates the lock from the key barrel.
