If you call out a locksmith it will be very expensive......................hundreds.

Best bet is to take the lock to the locksmiths not a small job but in my experience cheaper..................

I think i have a barrel and key and fuel tank top spare which im sure you could have for a lot less than the price of a locksmith. Not sure if i have the back seat lock.... Anyway get back to me if you need it.

If you keep an eye on Ebay the chancs are you'll get a full lock set for around £50. As others have said, it's unlikely a locksmith will be able to get anywhere near that price whatever he does!

What was that for, though? Knocking up a key that fit all the locks, or replacing all the locks?

youll be able to remove but only if the screw thats under the cap isnt there. Im sure it comes out without that there. Alternatively, its a drill and screwdriver job i believe.
