[LEEDASH]

valver petrol cap,is it possible for the lock to come out of it's casing ? well how the hell do you do it without breaking it ? tips very welcomed,unless some one has one cheap,blue ?

[Lunner]

most keys work most locks, might not need to swap it

My tips.
Squirt a helping of WD40 around the inside and then put it on the house radiator for a while, never had any problems with them.

And the keys should not fit different cars, defies the point of having a locking cap.

thanks to mattbrown for that 100% tip,just done it with a little wd and plenty of weight which i have stored up for years,hey presto out it come,now to the ignition any tips ?

[MatBrown]

There is a small torx screw that needs undoing on the ignition, then just unplug the wires and press in the metal tab and it should slide out.
