As rebecca_321 posted previously.

the lock barrel has snapped at the end (the hook) and dropped out, can anyone recommend where I can get either a replacement, better version (I read seat ones fit ?) in Melbourne ?

I also need to get another key cut as the car only came with one. Should I order the blank off ebay from hong kong and take it down to the local lock smith and get them to cut it ?

or can someone recommend a lock smith that has the keys in stock ?

it's the black handle key with the VW logo in the center and WTO stamped on the base of the metal key part.

Thanks in advance.

Michael.
