Hi folks! Been offered a 1986 Vw transporter at what i believe to be a good price. Its mot'd for four months, but the owner has lost the keys.... D'oh! How easy is this to get round? (I have no recovery available, and was hoping to drive it!!

If you can get inside (it's not hard and you won't need to break anything), remove the sliding door handle (one screw from inside) and there's a 4 digit code on there, which is the code for the key. A good locksmith on ebay will be able to make a key to this code. (or I can pass you someones details on if you struggle)
It might not work great because the lock and key wear together, but see how you go. I had a key cut to code, and it only just barely worked.
Try not to damage any locks if you can avoid it, especially if it's a matching set - another matching lock set will cost you £150+.
AFAIK mk2 golf ignition barrels fit, but the door locks are t25 only. I've got a pair of front door handles (on one key) if you need them.
