Door locks

[jibcl500]

This might help some owners, I have a 1988 230TE and the drivers door would unlock but not lock. I asked serveral breakers for door locks and a key and got nothing.
Today I took the passenger door lock out and put it on the drivers door so now I can lock and unlock the drivers door. Simple and its saved some dosh.

Just thought I'd share this info.

Thanks, its nice when something comes together, the 230te is my hack and it has to cost me as little as possible in the next 12 months !!!! current spending including buying the car, tax, mot and insurance less than £500........bargain.

You managed to get the passenger side door lock to fit on the drivers side....do u mean just the barrel and key....

theres a small grub screw on the door shut behind a small plastic tab, remove the grub then pull the handle towards the back of the car, the lock part comes lose, then put key in lock and turn to release the lock part.
