Escort door lock

A friend of mine has had his 1969 Escort broken into (not what I would call a classic, but he is happy with it!). They didn't take the car, or steal anything from it, but they did wreck the door lock.

His insurance company has told him that they would write the car off rather than repair it if he submits a claim, but his local garage is happy to replace the lock *if* he can find a replacement lock to fit.

Does anyone know a source of supply for an Escort MkII door lock?

1969 would be a Mk I, wouldn't it?

Look up GS Escorts in Widnes.

The phone number (they're the people who took over Ian Harwoods) used to be

0151 422 8333, should still be,.

Yes, but my fingers hit the wrong key. It should have said 1989.

Which would make it a MkIV.

Sure you don't mean 1979?

So it's actually a MK4. Front wheel drive hatchback?

I will have to ask him. All he told me when we met up for a pint was that it was a "G reg, so 1989-1990, MkII". I haven't actually seen the car, and I am not knowledgeable about Fords, so if he got something wrong I would not have spotted it. He must have the registration document at home, so I will ask him what it says. But I probably won't see him until next week, so don't expect an instant answer.

Ah. A Mk I in half reasonable condition wouldn't be written off for the sake of a lock. They're very much on the up, price wise.

1989-1990 is Mk4.

Clearly, neither is he.

But then that's a given, seeing as he owns one.

Please don't do that again. Luckily, most of the hot tea that squirted out through my nose missed the monitor and keyboard, but it's still painful and messy.
