Driver's lock broken

[Mikehamid]

I've had this problem for a while now, basically when I put the key in and turn on the driver's side, nothing happens. The central locking works fine though and there's no sign of any damage. Any ideas what I need to replace, and as cheap as possible?

Ooh,so recently too. How embarassing  . Saying that, I'll get the part ordered and hopefully all is sorted. Thanks a lot for that

No worries, do you know how to take the door handle off? It's pritty easy

[Mikehamid]

I'd imagine it is easy, but I'm not sure how. Any advice would be brilliant

If you open the door, on the shut edge of the door, the same level as the handle there's a trod bolt, undo and take that out the slide the handle towards the front of the car then pull out and wiggle it until it comes out. If that makes sence lol

I will give it a try next time I get a day off. I'll let you know if I have any problems or whatever. Thanks a lot man
