New door lock/barrell options

[calum001]

I need a new door lock (i can't even get the key in mine) so just looking for the best option, the options i can think of the now are

A - Get a new door lock from Renault that matches my key (not sure how much this would be but i'm guessing at not cheap !)

B - Get a used door lock/ignition barrell/key from a scrappies and swap them over

I don't want to just get a new door lock and have 2 key (looks pikey :rasp

Any options/suggestions more than welcome

remove it and get/use central locking

 

[calum001]

i've got central locking mate, only got one door lock as it's a cup so i want/need to keep it and get it working

 

[jaysjetski]

ummmmm. renault it is then. try and get just a new barrel.

 

[calum001]

yeh i'm going to phone up tomorrow (if their open) and find out how much they are going to rob me for it

could be cheaper going with option B as above but i don't know if it's that easy and i can swap it all over ?

option b you would have to have,

2xkeys(which is unlikely at a scrap yard/salavage)
door lock,
ignition barrel,
ecu,
recoded key for central locking.


i would guess over £300 for that option.

if you only got 1 key and wanted a second cut then it would be about another £140 on top.

cheers for the input mate, i've only got one key so don't need 2

surely it would be possible to just swap over the key blade into my fob which would cut out the need for /ecu and recoding ?

 

[cliosport 172]

i can program keys asweel
not the blade but reprogram it

 

[calum001]

was just being cheeky mate, you checking the price would be spot on and i wouldn't expect anything else i know how much hassle it could prob be

you work for Renault then mate or another garage ?

no as the immbolisier is part of the barrel and key fob i believe (some1 correct me if im wrong) and that is coded to the ecu.

cool. what area are you in?

 

[cliosport 172]

yes it is coded to the ecu but some one whos got the right access can reprogram them to the car.. i can do it

 

[cliosport 172]

i'm a bit to far from u guys... i'm in middex near heathrow

 

[jaysjetski]

yes it is coded to the ecu but some one whos got the right access can reprogram them to the car.. i can do it

but thats still a few £££ and calum001 wants the cheaper option...

 

[cliosport 172]

reprogram can cost around 45 to 50 £
plus the blank key but it does come with the rigth blade and not need of changing nothing in the car

 

[calum001]

cheers again gents you've both been a great help, i'll keep you updated with how i get on speaking to Renault tomorrow and see what i'm going to do from there

if you have it, when you call them give them the key code so they shoud be able to order the new lock barrel that fits your key

have fun.

 

[calum001]
