    Where abouts are you? I used a guy in Warrington to supply and code a new key for me. He was cheap enough.

    You could try taking the cap off, if you can, spray WD40 in the lock, and on the mechanism at the back. If the cap is tight to get off, spray inside the lock first and see if you can wiggle the key around a bit. That might help to loosen it up.

    Also check if the tabs on the back of the cap look OK (if it has them), or if they might have been bent, making it difficult to fit.

    it will be cheaper to replace the cap rather than call a locksmith out.

    Butcher the old cap to get the lock out (they are REALLY hard to get out )
    Buy a new cap around 15 i think and pop the lock in after cleaning and greasing it up
