Removal of Door Lock on Rover 200 Series (Coupe)

In message , Glynn Timmins writes

There will be a small C shaped clip holding the plastic piece to the lock barrel, when you've removed this, you can remove the lock barrel from the handle. You will need to insert the key into the lock so you can slide the barrel out, otherwise it will not come out. When you say it doesn't work, in what way do you mean?

Thanks for your help, Al. To answer your question, the barrel doesn't turn because someone forced a screwdriver into it, in an attempt to steal my wife's handbag. Today a new lock arrived from Rover, matched-up to the key number. It's got the cabling for the central locking and immobiliser pre-wired to it. So it's just the case of swapping them, which I'll do over the weekend.
