Hi,
Unfortunately someone broke into my Fiat Panda 2007 and damaged the drivers side lock so it no longer works. My garage said that Fiat quoted them a ridiculous cost for a replacement lock (£500?!), so they suggested using a local locksmith to cut a replacement barrel to fit the existing key.
However I'm unclear about where to source the replacement barrel from. The locksmith could not get this part from their supplier (they usually work with newer models). They said that it needs to be a "key in kit" format so that they could cut the barrel to fit the existing key (for a cost of £25).
Any suggestions of a good source for this? For example would this ebay listing work as it seems to indicate that it would be compatible with my car model?
Thanks for any advice!
