Hi, I’m new to the forum.

Just looking for some advice. I recently brought a 500, second hand, the car seems to work well and not had too many problems with it, but thought I’d become a member just incase I need more advice in the future.

The problem I’ve had today with it, is I’ve used my spare key to open it, I normally use the key fob to open automatically, and as I’ve turned it the barrel of the lock has came out the door. I’ve managed to push it back in, but I’m worried someone could get into my car now. Anyone got any advice on how to fix, or how much it’ll cost to replace?
 
It sounds like someone has fitted a new handle and when they’ve swapped over the lock they have not put the circlip in which holds the lock in. It won’t fall out unless the key is in it and turned.

New handles come with the clip already installed so maybe it just wasn’t pushed back in properly.

Now you’ve pushed it back in, put the key back in, push it hard to make sure it’s all the way in. If it still comes out you will have to take the handle out to be able to get the circlip in. I don’t think you would be able to do it with the handle installed.
