Hi Guys

I'm sorry my first post is a plea for help but I urgently need to fix the boot lock on my 360. It has been fine up until today when the lock cylinder decided to part company with the housing.

I have had a search on the forum but haven't been able to find an answer, just that it is held in somehow by a circlip.

Does anyone know how to fix it back in place?

TIA

Alex

yes this happened to mine last week any fix would be nice

Circlip just pins it flush thats about it.

I've managed to fix my lock for the time being, the problem was a spring pin that had fallen out at some point.

If you look at the lock cylinder it has a small hole drilled in the casing at one end. When I removed the boot handle/lock housing assembly from the boot lid I was able to see that there is a slot in the housing to allow a spring pin to be pushed through into this hole to retain the cylinder.
I didn't have any suitable pins at home so I have used a piece of thick wire cut to length as a substitute and it seems to be doing the job just fine.

Very simple job to do, hardest part was finding a piece of wire thick enough to wedge into the cylinder!

Hope that helps,
Alex
