Boot/Trunk lock
Hi, I am trying to fix my bodged up boot lock which has arrived today but
it may as well be a bunch of 0' and 1's.
I am not sure how to put this together in order for my existing key to work. I would really appreciate any assistance. Possible YouTube clips would be great
Thanks, Zack

TIBBE locks
I have not needed to do this, but the technical designation for these locks is "TIBBE". A quick search reveals:

Best of luck, keep us posted.

Hi, I am getting even more confused. Do the latest comments mean that I have purchased the wrong thing? I have taken the plastic covers off and am just about to have a look at what is left of the original lock.
I have found a YouTube clip of a guy putting together a ford boot lock which is similar but obviously not the same. If anybody has info regarding the building of the lock I will be indebted for life

My Friday night red wine logic...
I can't find the maximum recurrence for a particular cut, but assuming 4 (mine has 4 instances of a '2' cut) then 12 wafers, 4 of each, will cover all combinations.
GZ, you haven't got the wrong thing. See above.
From what I've read, the wafers have 1,2 or 3 stamped on them. You need to assemble them in the barrel to match the order on your key. See here:

for how to read the key code.

Stage 1
I have taken the old barrel out and it has been slightly abused. Was quite pleased with myself as I managed to do this without breaking anything.
I am planning to put together the new one tomorrow. However, as previously stated I have no instructions or reference material on how to assemble this type of lock. There are lots of parts that have come with the new barrel and I am not too sure where many of them go.
Thank you for your assistance fellas. It has helped a lot, Zack

LOL Just ever so slightly
There's a Jaguar TSB here:

Good luck!

Hi, I have been pi##ing about with the lock for the best part of the day and have got nowhere really. I have dyspraxia which isn't helping with working out the key configuration and then the placing of the Discs. There also seems to be a metal pin missing. I have one but the diagram that I was very grateful to receive
shows two.

Zen and the art of boot lock maintenance. Well I've only gone and done it. I feel like making a rather emotional speech (thank you to all who have supported me along the way etc...). It only took around 7 hours and I still have to put plastic covers back but I have managed to build the lock and it works. It is a little stiff so I will add some grease but I now have a boot lock.
The car is at the painters next week so I will get him to tidy it up and with a new badge, it should be ok
Cheers for help, Zack
