Posts: 2,846 Thanks: 84 Trader Rating: 9 ![]() | Re: fiat uno 45s car key That’s really bad luck ![]() I’m not sure if the FIAT parts can supply you with a new key ![]() Perhaps try WD40 spray to free the barrel, but if it’s not a clean brake (bent inside the lock) it might be really difficult. If you can’t get the snapped key out, it may be easier to replace all the lock. A member (Icestorm) has a full 3 door set for sale here in our classified section. https://www.fiatforum.com/classified...1&cat=4&page=1 If they are still for sale, it might be worth double-checking the key shown fits all locks as all my Unos have had 2 different keys. There is always the scrap yard, or e-bay too. That reminds me I need to get a spare set of keys cut for my new MK1. Regards, Louie Bee.

![]() | Re: fiat uno 45s car key Angeloutkast, What you do next largely depends on whether you can get the doors open - can you get in through the tailgate? Alternatively, there is a technique involving the strip under the front door window. I think I'd better not go into more detail than that ![]() Anyway, having got the door open, it's simple to remove the trim and remove the lock from the door. Then, it's pretty easy to get the barrel out - a locksmith should have no trouble. To take off the rotating balljoint-collar, a pin needs to be driven out with a small screwdriver, and there's a spring-loaded tab at the inside end that holds the barrel in place. Cheers, -Alex

![]() | Re: fiat uno 45s car key right easy one this.you can get a key cut at your local fiat dealer.use the chassis number,or take the two parts of the key with you.the door lock is simple to remove.you could just put a second hand lock on[make sure it has keys].off memory,there is a big C clip holding the lock on.remove clip and lock will come away once rods removed.
