My mam has a nova 1.2 and some theiving cunt stole her bag.It had her Only Key for the car in the bag.
do you think another old nova key may work??
If not where will i be able to find another ignition barrel with a key?
cheers

 

Another key wont work in my experience, Scrapyard for a new column and lockset

 

PS

A decent locksmith may be able to make you a new key from the number stamped on the locks, I had this done once with a mk2 astra which is the same era, was about 100 quid though.

 

can prob get a complete mk2 astra or nova for about Ł50

 

I dont think any 50 quid nova would be complete, you are looking at a couple of grand for a good straight rust free nova these days, enthusiasts cars with prices to match,

 

cheers Chip, was hoping you'd answer.
how easy are the column's to change?
i know the ford ones are piece of piss, if you have the KEY. but never tried changing one without a key.

 

i dont think he needs a rust free nova, just the key/locks etc

i was randomly comparing a complete car to the price you mentioned for just a key

 

Ive not actually changed a column personally on a nova, so I dont know for certain, but all looks pretty straightforward.

Ask over on migweb.co.uk

 

ok cheers, im going to tackle it tommorrow if the weather gets a bit better.lol

 

Cant be that hard - its vauxhalls version of the mk2 fes.
A baked bean tin with wheels and an engine.

 

if its a facelift dash, pull the hazard lights switch out and replace upside down, you will now have full electrics and be able to jump the car. IF it doesnt have an immob/alarm.

 

ok, so how do you start it and take the lock off with no key lol

 

that just reminded me.!!
This does actually work. you obviously have to snap steering lock and then bump it.
old twocers trick!!

 

break the lock, he will need a new barrel anyway.

And to start well, i dont think i need to explain how to bump start a car.

obv this is all only if he wants to move the car. ie. if its left somewhere dodgy.

 

only if this was yesterday greg as ive just binned a full nova lock set and keys
