Toyota Carina E 1997 parts

[EHeath]

Hi, I've got a 1997 Toyota Carina E (UK) model, I've been struggling to get certain replacement parts for her through the usual channels and breakers yards.

Specifically I've been struggling to get hold of a nearside tailgate light cover (mine cracked a number of years ago, this includes the reversing lights) and the offside one as well (this includes the boot lock cylinder which has also broken, I'm not aware if these come together as a unit or separately).

I've also come up blank on a offside driver's door cylinder lock and key, this is the one that controls the central locking and currently it has a portion of an old key broken in it.

Any help identifying part numbers or finding replacements appreciated. She's an old girl and I want to give her a bit of attention now I have the time to do so. When looking for the light covers I've come across a few European models and one set which seemed very similar but the top section of red plastic was far deeper than the one on my car, so the hunt continues.

Thanks for reading.

There are some used rear lights on eBay.

I've looked at those (and even ordered one) but they are either for European models or the red piece of plastic at the top of the light is a different size to the Carina E 1997.
