No issues, could have got a cheaper kit but wanted good quality and ability to use my existing key. This was a good price for a genuine ford item and came packaged in genuine ford packaging. I didn't use the key kit but instead took out the old key barrel and re-uesd. You need some small punches for this to remove the small dowel pins, and new dowel pins are supplied in the kit. The job was relatively easy, but only once I'd got the bonnet open which was the hard part being that the original one had failed. In my case it was actually the cable that had broken going out from the key barrel assembly. Had to reach up in front of radiator from underside get old sheath off and then with mole grips turned the inner cable that was still attached to the bonnet latch, one way then the other.

Quite a job to fit. A few tips about fitting would have speeded things up. I spent ages trying to fathom out.how to fit the return spring at the end of the barrel. I eventually found the answer on youtube by scrolling right down the comments of one of the instruction videos. I fitted my orginal barrel so i could use my ignition key.. i didnt attempt to build a new barrel although it was quite a job releasing the original from its casing.

Purchased after trying a Chinese copy. The original unit lasted 14 years the copy 10 months. Had a happy time configuring the lock to fit my ignition key so some fiddly assembley required but not beyond the ability of somebody with average dexterity. I would strongly suggest watching one of the youtube tutorials before attemting this as a methodical approach is required. Also, a clean floor area as the lock barrel springs are tiny. Be prepared to sacrifice your old unit for spare springs, or use the original lock barrel if it's serviceable. It wil save a lot of time.

Fitted to 2010 Mk2 Focus 1.6 TDCi As far as I can see this replacement is identical to the OEM part. Assuming you can get the bonnet open, fitting is straightforward: Once the cover plate is removed from the grille and the lock is unbolted (2 bolts) it is simple to remove the old lock/cable. In my case the lock was fine so I could swap the old lock barrel into the new replacement part by punching out the 3 pins that hold the barrel in place. Finally reassemble everything, use a screwdriver in the bonnet catch and turn the key to check it works BEFORE closing the bonnet! Good luck!

Was able to put this together with the help of a you tube home video some helpful chap had done. Worked really well and I was very pleased I was able to have fixed the broken bonnet lock. I think £45 was quite expensive, hence 4 out of 5 stars, but this must've been considerably cheaper than taking it to a garage. Very happy in the end.
