88 XJ door locks
I just got a new 88 XJ yesterday and everything was good but the door locks, didn't have the key. I just figured I would go to the part store and grab a new set. But much to my surprise none of the sets that oriellys, maps, and autozone had matched my old locks. Theirs had two posts that came off the back of the cylinder. Were mine has a single post which holds a tab that attaches to the control rod. The chiltons manual has the same image as what I have. I'm at a loss, any know the correct part number or how to fix this. I really can leave it unlocked all the time.

I had the same problem with my '88. I ordered the new cylinder from Ebay and took it to a locksmith to have it set to the key I already had. You don't have to have it rekeyed if you don't mind one door being a different key. O'reilly's gave me option to order them but I chose to get them from ebay. The ones on Ebay were the same manufacturer for less $$$.

What I don't get is that what was in the door matched my lock but every part store had the wrong lock cylinder.
