Great tip to get a key cut from the tumbler number. Just hope some joker before you hasn't swapped out all the pins! 😆

I can confirm, I had my keys renewed last year. BMW will sell you a new coded key based on your VIN and proof that you're the owner of the car.

Hi Martin, great update and despite it looking a fiddly job being able to open and lock the doors is a welcome enhancement. My 190 had a driver door lock than spam around but thankfully just a detached vacuum pipe. Good luck with the MOT! Cheers, Simon

I should have updates on the Rover and Lotus before long. The Gamma is likely to be a while, although I do have some other Lancia stories in the pipeline.

Thanks! The 2300S is alive and well, and being used for some local running around. (It’s visible in the background once or twice in this video.) Maybe I should do another video on it? Not sure what the story would be though.

@GrandThriftAuto they have always done this for various unit specific items like radio codes and keys. You must show adequate documentation that you are the legal owner of the vehicle. Obviously they won't just sell it to any random buyer.

Is this a new situation? It sounds like you have door locks that don’t match, but if it’s suddenly happened then I guess something has failed inside the lock. You can unlock the door from the inside by just pulling on the handle that opens the door. Hope that helps - good luck!

@@jagakuna1989In theory you could make the odd one match if you had the right set of pins and arranged them in the right order - see from 4:21 in the video. But I don’t know if the pin sets are the same and they just need rearranging, or if you need a different set of pins. You could take the two locks apart, see if they match, and reassemble the odd one to match the correct one if they do - but be VERY careful not to lose the order of the correct one!!
