am looking for a boot lock and the key for my g40 as bought mine and doesnt work.. also a debadged grill.. thanks :)
Give it a good flush with WD40 or similar, mine always fouls up this time of year with the damp weather chucking up all the salt and road grime on the back of the car.
If the WD doesn't resolve it you can take it apart and recover it.
Recently managed this on one that had been stood for a month and was solid good and proper.
*Take the button and lock mechanism out of the boot lid
*Take the linkage arm bit out of the button surround
*On the back you'll find a circlip holding the lock barrel in, it's a bit of a pig to remove but patience prevails
*Push the lock barrel out of the plastic button
Once you've got the barrel out you can see what you're dealing with. I left mine to soak overnight in a glass of Coke then another night in white spirit. Spray liberally with WD. Any pins which are stuck can carefully be tapped free using a tiny punch or screwdriver.
Shouldn't take longer than an hour to have a crack at this. Definately cheaper and more convenient than replacing it for one with a different key.
and remember when you put it back to properly regrease it, or it'll seize again soon enough
okay thanks everyone will give that a go.. however im not 100 percent sure the keys i were given with the car last weekend are the right ones or not! ??? ???
