Dodgy Passenger Lock??

[Pal318is]

Guys,

I have jus replaced all of the locks on my motor and everything was working fine. I knew the central locking thingy in the passenger footwell needed replacing, but the passenger lock is now buggered I can't open the door from the inside, as the door pin is permantly down, it can only be opened from the outside with the key, and that is only by putting the key in, turning it as much as possible to the left (about 2-3mil) and then lifting up the door handle....Phew! Can anyone shed some light on this annoying bum hole of a problem.

Lastly, does anyone know how to replace the ignition barrel on a e30 as I tried to do it over the weekend and failed stupidly...Please help!!

Thanks

Pal

Ignition barrel is dead easy once you get the technique right!
Door lock possibly something to do with missadjusted lock motor?
Get the door card off, take it all out and give it all a good clean/grease/service.
