Nevin,
I can help some on the keys: The doors and trunk (boot) should use the same
key. The glovebox uses one that is cut on both edges, maybe your twisted one.
I had great luck dealing with Pete Groh for having keys made. I'd suggest that
you contact him.
<petegroh@yahoo.com>. I sent the lock from my glovebox to him and he sent it
back to me with a key. He cut the door key from the BMIHT numbers. Usual
disclamers.
