A Van dilemma-advice please

Same thing... transponder code copied across and everything.

I tried that - mine didn't.

I take it from this that you guys think I should just go for it then?

why not just have additional security locks fitted to each of the doors?

Don't see why not.

Would you not change the locks?

Sorry off topic slightly

How many people change all the locks when they buy a new house?

I don't, and neither does anybody I know as far as I'm aware.

Can locks be changed on vans?

Yes, but I really don't think it's worth the expense.

When my rear door look went, it cost me over £100 to get it replaced.

Personally, I'd rather take the risk.

After all, that's what insurance is for!

I've always changed house locks... but then again that's a simple DIY job... vehicle locks are a different animal. In fact we now change all the door locks on all the caravans we sell second hand - just for customer peace of mind. With the new "eurolock" barrels it only takes 5 minutes with just a screwdriver, and costs less then £10.

If you were to have things stolen from your van by somebody using a key, surely suspicion would fall immediately on previous owners... surely the Police would be prepared to investigate?

Additional deadlocks are always a good idea on vans... but they can be a bit unsightly.

The back door and drivers door locks were worn on an Escort van I had a few years ago... it cost under £200 for new locks all round, including the ignition switch (with red immobiliser transponder key) and fuel cap... and that was a Main Dealer price.

Honda are simply taking the mickey.
