Another XANTIA problem

Post by ash »

Flipping heck, as well as cold starting problem and faulty speedo. Both my door locks are now faulty. When I try and use the key, the key just rolls in the barrel. Do I need new locks or can I take another course of action ?

If the key is not fully inserted into the lock then the barrel will rotate 360 degrees without doing anything (I use this as a way to oil the locks!).
Check that there is nothing stopping the key entering the locks fully or try a different key. It is strange that it has suddenly happened on both locks as this would point to the key being faulty or damaged. Does the key open the boot OK?

Mine does this too (and the speedo!). Just firmly press the key into the lock and it should open/close. Works for me.

It could be "boy's work" as well - clogging the locks with anything at hand.
