[COMMY VP 666]

they wont sit back in the same spot?

they dont grip and you can pull the locks off?

sounds like you broke the clips on the orange bit, time to get some new ones.

[levymetal]

buy new tabs (the orange part). holden should have them, if not then the wreckers do.

i have replaced the orange slips i went to the wreckers and got a good 50 clips + the door lock black bit

and still no grip,

are you pushing the orange clip in so it locks onto the shaft?

[COMMY VP 666]

that what i might be doing wrong, now to think of it

i am leaving the clips on the black part and pushing the hole thing onto shaft?

WRONG??????

[hakhawk]

the orange clip pops out a couple mm, the black part drops down on the shaft far enough for the orange bit to be resting on the surround. you then push the orange clip in so it sits flush with the black bit, then the black bit should lock and unlock the car without coming off.
