morch_66479 Hi All,My keys wont turn in either of the front doors but works in the boot. I've tried the spare keys, the central locking works by using the inside door pin but not the key. I should have tested this before buying the car!!Any tips to diagnose why this is so?
ramrod It's pretty easily sorted, it's possible someone in the past used a different ignition cylinder with it's own key and failed to include the old key which fits the door locks.Take the front right door lock out, take it to a locksmith to have a new key made to suit the door lock
morch_66479 I pretty much sorted it after i wrote this thread, i removed the door lock and sprayed wd40 inside and blew it out with an air compressor and it works fine now. Easier than i expected :)

morch_66479 Yeah, I gave them a lick too.Apparently a dry lubricant is best for this, I've used dry lube in my ignition barrel in the past. As always, thank you very much for your help :-)
ramrod Yes extreme pressure moly grease on the metal gears for the window regulator, silicone synthetic clear grease on the plastic sliders and window guide rails. If you want to do the job like a pro, here is the kit I bought twice and how I do it but beware it takes 90 minutes each door. You have to clean all of the old and dried grease first before applying the new greasehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOyvvFCspn8
