Hiya gents.

Anyone had luck with replacing the lock barrel in the door handle?

I had to replace the door handle on mine a while ago due to the rod from the handle to the latch snapping.

unfortunately it requires a different key..

Which is a pain..

My central locking works well, but if it fails for whatever reason I'm goosed!

Thanks

Hi Mate, yes I had to change mine when I got my Range Rover P38, as the handle was broken when a purchased the vehicle. I got the handle out and measured the diameter of the roll pin and then I bought a packet of drill bits that size. I clamped the handle in the drill press and drilled out the roll pins and then just swapped over the barrels. You will need to get some more roll pins if you don't have any. The local bearing shop over here carries them.

Alan

Many thanks Alan..

I'll give it a go!!
