Hi all
I've checked all through the site and not found this particular problem with the door lock anywhere (please point me to it if i've missed it though...)
The other day our panda refused to unlock from the outside using the key, which is the only way to unlock this particular model (1.1 i think). Luckily i was able to unlock the boot, use a stick to unlock one of the rear doors then clamber through to unlock the front door, but this isn't ideal.
Sometimes if we're lucky, a lot of jiggling while attempting to turn the key unlocks it.
Does anyone know why this might be, and if it's a case of having to replace the lock or could it be something that just needs tightening up?
I've tried WD'ing it but it had no effect. Also cleaned some muck out of the key which didn't help either - it works in the ignition so i'm presuming it's the door lock that's at fault.
Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated
