Kizza, When i had my wagon, I wanted and bought those locks, It turns out that SOLEX dont make them to fit a wagon/van

They tried to sell me gemmi sedan locks, then japanese sport car locks, None of which fitted.

Its cos the plastic piece which attaches from the lock to the mechanism is so short on gemmi wagons, The sedans etc. are all about 2cm longer

Spewin, i had to settle for nomral universal locks, Aswell as a good alarm, as well as a clublock, as well as removal of my rotor button lol


Spewing hey Sad

If your going to buy a wagon or van, get used to a lot of stuff not fitting.

All the fiddley bits in vans and wagons are completely different most of the time. They use the european opel parts most of the time as opposed to the holden/gm ones. Not to mention its a pretty different style of car.

Examples, door locks, inside door handles, window winder mechanism, etc.. All different and pain in the butt to get a hold of cheap.

But hey, vans and wagons are so much cooler Smile
