Hi Guys,

I'm pulling my unfinished S2 project out the garage at the weekend and the first thing to tackle is the tailgate lock, its locked and I haven't got the key for it, as the tailgate was replaced it didnt use the ignition key etc.

So, how to remove a 'locked' lock out of the tailgate, can I dismantle it from inside the boot or do I need to get the drill out ?

If the lock itself is out, can I use a solenoid kit in its place with a blanking plate or do I need a lock inplace to use one?

Thanks for the help,
Al
