hoff Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My drivers side door lock that is. Its a bit strange this. The key doesn't slide in as it used to, you have to give it a wriggle and put a little bit of pressure onto it. Also, its a bit stiff when I actually turn it. The passangers side is fine. Im getting an alarm fitted in a few days, i assume it wont have any effect on that. But has anyone else ever had this happen. And how can it be fixed, WQD40 maybe? I just thought id post this up as its starting to annoy me:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Mark Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 You shouldn't ever use oil in locks, it gunks them up. You can buy little bottles of graphite powder that you puff in, will sort it a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlton Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 WQD40 maybe? Is that a special version of WD40? I dont think I have ever used the lock & key on my Supe - I only ever use the remote locking. I must try it sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Cheers, good advise:). Where can you get it from? I borrowed mine from the premises guy at work.. But I would imagine any locksmiths or somewhere like B&Q probably do it? It was made by loctite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
