Title: Another lock problem
Post by: T_J_G on 20 February 2009, 19:15

I've noticed my drivers side lock does not open with my key by the passenger side is fine. How would I go about having this sorted, doesn't affect me what with having RCL but it does annoy me that something isn't right.

The key doesn't turn in the lock. So I'm thinking maybe the lock has been changed before I bought the car.
