Right then.. They say it never rains but it pours !!!!!!! Well i think i'm in a rain cloud at the moment. :cry:

My central locking has stopped working and now my drivers door lock is being an arse.. :twisted: :evil:

I vaguely recal this also happening on my previous b plate 318. The lock is stuck in the locked position meaning you can only get in through the passenger door and lean over and flick the button up. A real pain when it's raining. Any ideas how to cure this ?? Big hammer maybe ??

It's so stuck the key starts to twist if you try and turn it. It was fine when I bought it a couple of months ago... Is it poss to remove the lock and take it apart ??

I'll give it a go, what the hell. Pack of fags and a slab of beer should help me with this one.. I might need a diagram of how it all goes back together as apparently I'm fantastic at taking things appart but not putting them back together again.. Just ask the owner of my old VR6 !!!
