Only lost the keys to my defender!

Go through the alphabet A to Z in your head. Then imagine your day in reverse from now to the begining (assuming you lost them today) If it doesn't work at least it took your mind off it for a few moments. Buy a new set of locks.... they will be sure to turn up as soon as you've got the last one fitted.

But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep."

On > mine, you used to be able to unlock it with a screwdriver. Mine unlocks with the key for the fuel filler cap, but I can't unlock the fuel filler cap with the defender door key! A cheap fuel filler cap has a better lock than my truck :-/ Mind you it's got a rag top too now so not really a problem. But yes, as suggested, anything that bears a passing resemblance to a key should unlock the door.

Must file down this woodruff key. :-) Martin > Must file down this woodruff key. :-) Last time I used a mon-key. SignatureBlast off and strike the evil Bydo empire! >> Must file down this woodruff key. :-) > > Last time I used a mon-key. Try a don-key next time. :-) key-per the smart comments coming :-) seriously?, try another key that fits the lock and whilst putting the key in and out very slowly, try to maintain pressure in the direction of opening the lock. This attempts to move and keep the lock pins from passing back over the shear line, thus opening the lock. Failing that, try a small screwdriver and gently wedge it in the bottom of the lock whilst using a flattened out paperclip with one end turned up slightly (about 2 mm) to move the lock pins. Use the screwdriver as a "key" try to maintain pressure on the lock in the opening direction whilst pulling/pushing the paper clip in an out whilst trying to get the "feel" of the pins and whether or not they have passed the shear line. If neither of the above work, either invest in a set of good lock picks or pick up a brick :-) If anyone asks "can i pick locks", the answer is no! ;-) If anyone else asks if i can pick locks, i can tell you but then i would have to kill you :-[ If you live near me (merseyside) then pick me up and i'll open it up for you whilst you are acting as a lookout ;-) If you want to google for the e-book "MIT guide to lockpicking" it may help wolfie |
