Oh Dear! the original door frame had drain holes in the top of the bottom frame - let's hope it has not dropped down the hole! But because you waxed the inside of the door real good, then there is a chance the screw is stuck in the wax - you did wax it right? Use Loctite when replacing Mike

Thanks AJ! Mike

You need to get the door card off - not impossible on a locked door - once in you can trigger the latch

Nope, they are all completely crap - from beginning to end

Could be - maybe worth inspecting or replacing

Thank you! Mike

Send me a pic to britrest@britrest.com

Sounds as if you need a handle - too much corrosion

Sounds like the spring pin is not locating in the latch mechanism

@@BritannicaRestorations ok I will have another look. Thanks for the videos keep them coming

No the lock is held in with a circlip (better idea)

It's been a long time since I played with a Td5 - not many here, but I had an idea they were the same - I will have to check

Had a look and they do not have the screw on the Td5 but a star-lock washer like below ever-hardware.com/starlock-washer-push-clips-metric-shaft.html which is a good thing as the screws come lose To get the barrel out I believe you have to remove the star-lock, which means removing the handle - BUT the screws holding the handle on sometimes are a bugger to get out and you end up replacing the handle! CXB000020PMA Right CXB000030PMA Left Screws are usually not included SE105101L screw WC105001L washer Barrels with key CWB000260MMM (2 x barrels) The star-locks are not sold separately but you can get them from a good fastening supplier

You didn't mention what model it is so I am assuming it is a Td5 or later Start looking here www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-body-chassis/doors/barrel-lock-keys_52635#1

Just realised that you have to split the barrel before inserting the new one. Every day is a school day.

Try MTC6503 which fits Defender till 1A. It is a kit with two barrels and four keys.

I used to destroy the old barrel by progressively drilling out the old barrel about 1 cm deep, until it got to a point the guts used to fall out - then remove the guts with a pick until the old barrel will turn - then you can turn the barrel until the wee hole lines up for the push pin that is in the barrel (you will see this on your new barrel) - push the pin down and extract the old barrel The other way is to hammer a screwdriver in and shear the barrel off, but you can cause more damage You cannot save the old barrel - not unless you take it to a lock smith which will cost as much as a whole assembly

@@BritannicaRestorations thanks pal will give it a go. 👍👍

The part you need is in the handle itself - I do not think it is sold separately

I did a video on the front doors which should have the same latch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e96qpMydmJqngZs.html Mike

@@BritannicaRestorations I just watched it. Thanks so much!

The barrels are cheap, so don't even think about renovating them! If you want matching keys, then get a set of 3 matching barrels and replace the fronts as well as the back (fronts are very easy to change) - you will end up with 6 keys! Mike

@@BritannicaRestorations I just bought the one, I should have got the three of them like you said. I just might order the 3, like you said, they're cheap enough!

@@BritannicaRestorations I did what you said in the video and it worked a charm. I never had a key for the safari door and closed the it from the inside with a stick. I'm all posh now with my new lock!

Waste of time to be honest - you cannot buy the button separately and handles are cheap (too cheap - that is why they break!) Mike

PeterI know the barrels for the Td5 were as long as the ignitions switch, but to be honest I have not seena Puma here in Canada yet, never mind work on one!Let me see what I can find in my notesMike

@@BritannicaRestorations Thanks Mike

Peter I had a look and indeed they have changed the crappy small screw idea for some sort of clip I found an image here www.ebay.co.uk/p/Land-Rover-CXB500200PMA/1515839844 I suppose you remove the clip? Not sure Mike

no - you have to remove the lock

@@BritannicaRestorations Just about to do that...no manual, just some spanners and a screwdriver!

I thought that there must be a pin involved...then I found this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5ifn8Rnnt-wk3U.html

Sorted it thanks for giving me the confidence (y)

If you mean the lock on the cap, then you can strip the cap, but you cannot change the barrel as no parts are available

Hi AJ No, it is different - if I can find a spare lock I will do a video tomorrow Mike

Thanks Mike, I took my rear lock apart and couldn't find a screw to remove the barrel. I was also looking at the locking gas cap and took it apart but couldn't remove the barrel. I need to install those barrels you sent me! My current ones are super worn out and look like a flat screw driver would open them.

You cannot change the barrel in the gas cap - for the rear lock, there is a small hole in the tube that holds the lock in - there are some pictures here and instructions www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rear-door-lock-removal.171548/ Mike
