HELP.
I've just managed to snap the key off on my tow bar  leaving not much to grab on to to try and pull what's left in the key hole out. Any tips(hahaha) on how I can get the stub out?

Oops! I had this with an ignition key years ago.
File down a pair of tweezers so the blades are the same width as the key and almost razer sharp, then carefullly slot then in around the stub of key. Then squeeze the tweezers with pliers, as close to the lock as you can get. With a bit of luck and fiddling you should be able to eventually grab the stub of key. The secret is getting the tweezers ground/filed down to exactly the right size....good luck!!

Sorted,
Thanks anyway to those who had a look at my post. Bought a new lock(£12+) easy enough to fix. Java Black 2007 TDV6 SE

I haven't got keys to my towbar lock, but recently got a new lock from LR. The question now is, how do I remove the old one?
People mention instructions I would've received with the new lock, but here was nothing. Also heard about the drilling out theory, but surely there must be a better way. 2012 LR Discovery SDV6 SE
