I did a search on this but was not able to find an answer so I wondered if any of you good people could help me with a quick question about locks and latches.
Basically the drivers side door latch on my 300 TDi 1994 90 is now jiggered. It will lock but will it hellers like open again unless you climb inside via the passenger door and jiggle the lock button until it opens. Trying to unlock with the key now is virtually impossible and I think if I turn the key any more it will just snap off in the lock.
So I thought that maybe the new Defenders had a slightly better lock system and I wondered if I could buy say a lock kit for a newer TD5 and retro fit it to my 1994 defender?
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the newer ones open to doors with the ignition key? If so is it possible to retrofit a new latch handle and lock to the drivers and passenger side doors and replace the lock barrel in the ignition so that these three all use the same key?
Can anyone shed any light on the part numbers I need?
Thanks
