As it says on the tin...

I have the end of my snapped key stuck in my drivers door lock, how do I get the badger out? Its annoying having to walk around to the passenger door to lock and unlock my car!

You could take the lock out of the handle and take one of the pins out (the little brass ones) but dont take them all out and watch the little springs.

I didn't have a spare key either, I had to leave the car outside a pub over the weekend and get it trailored to my nearest Vauxhall dealer. Was not cheap!

Cheers for the advice guys. It is easy to take the lock out?
