Try http://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk/ - Ref: EXS-0176339-OL . I haven't used them yet but have them in mind for when I need one. £96.94 for a full system! Haven't checked out vat and delivery though.

Far more efficient than anything else,I've removed bad rust stains from my white hi-top and boats. Just dissolve the crystals in warm water and make a strong solution and wear rubber gloves as it is...

I only have the ignition key for my t25. Do I need to replace all the handles with new lock cylinders or is there a kit around that will replace all with one key?
