Default HELP WANTED... WILL PAY

Drivers door lock will not operate from the key anymore (won't turn for some reason), had a go at changing the the lock myself and nearly ended up kicking it into touch.
Tried every way to get at it short of stripping out the window and have now resigned myself to getting in passenger side until I can find some kind soul (with small hands!) who's changed one before and lives in or near Swansea, who's willing to do it for cash (CVC are to far away).

I cant help you on changing the lock but mine got very stiff not long ago and some times wouldn't turn at all and need some amount of presauing

i over come this problem by getting some WD40 or Lube2000 and spraying it straight into the lock using the small straw provided, you'd swear the lock was like new now.

good luck,
GAZ

Appreciate the reply Gaz, have already tried wd40 and then tried forcing it with the key......no luck.
I've bought a lock that uses the same key as the ignition, just can't get my hands in to remove old one. It looks like a right bugger of a job, not suprised no ones taken up the offer of some quick cash.........hey ho
