It's pretty easy to change too.

Unfortunately, 205 locks are notoriously crap security-wise, so getting some dead lock replacements would be good.

I bought a full set of standard locks, (2 doors, petrol cap, boot and full ignition barrel) from eBay for 25 pounds delivered (and they are all with the same key)

Do you know of any supplier of deadlock replacements? Or is it 306 locks that are used?

Someone broke into my H reg 205. Totally mangled driver's side lock : /

I know they are not that secure though.

My question is where can I get a replacement cheap and is this the sort of thing I can do with me haynes manual and a few hours of messing about?

Any thoughts on replacing them with more secure locks would be appreciated. My 205 is fairly tidy (not gti) so it might happen again..

Thanks

Appreciate the advice Matt : )

Do you know if all barrel style locks fit 205s, are they a standard size?

Thanks

Afraid I've no clue although externally the 306 locks look the same (size etc) but I don't know what you'd have to do inside the door.

You could try some of the performance type places but I'd guess they'd charge a bundle.
