sometimes my key wont work?

[liam012]

like the title says - sometimes my key will just not work - no budge at all no matter how much i try any of those tricks that people used to dodgy front door locks will know - it seems that if i turn the key to lock all the doors then it is more likely to happen - if however i just barely turn the key to lock the door but not cause the central locking to trip then i can open it fine- still though you have to be so gentle locking the car each time as a little turn to far and you have triggered the central locking and you dont know can you open agin? only a question of time till i get locked out..
why?

It could be something to do with the deadlocks - have a look at this for more information.

I have a similar problem on mine and until I've had time to fix it I only use the passenger door or boot to lock and unlock the car

In the mean time, use the boot lock...
