The actual lock or the lock cylinder? Lock cylinder has a U-shaped clip on the back. The actual door lock requires disconnecting the rods and wiring, removing the 3 torx screws on the side of the door then maneuvering the lock/actuator assembly out from within the door. Might also need to remove the window channel if its the front door. Cant remember.

all you have to do is remove the door trim then undo your outer door handle and the lock will come out with it then you undo the lock rod and circlip
out pops your lock

ok cheers guys how do ya get the whole door handle i went down to the wrekers and had a go but couldnt seen to get it out

Theres a long thin clip on the back of the handle. Slide it across with a screwdriver and the handle will basically collapse. Then you have to work the handle out by playing around with it a bit. Hardest part is putting it back together.
