It looked so easy...
Discussion
Time to spray some WD40 in the passenger door lock. The key wont go in more than half way 
Thirty minutes of twiddling later, we're not getting anywhere
Seem that the barrel is moving as I try to insert the key? Torch down between the window and door and yes something is moving but cannot reach it or see it clearly.
Door panel is going to have to come off
An hour later I look like a failed suicide victim with fibreglass cuts and scratches across both wrists and arms 
but the panel is off 
Now where is the door lock... its behind the window runners 
Ah inner and outer parts of the key barrel have separated. If I push the outer back in place everything works.
But if I replace it I'll have to do both AND need to comepletely strip out BOTH doors
You've guessed...... NOT a happy bunny this morning

Is it possible it just needs a circip or something to hold the lock together?
You may be right, on the driver side I can see what looks like a tubular pin inserted into the outer part of the barrel. This is probably holding the two parts together??
Job for next weekend now.
can't make mine out... just use the remote alarm to lock the doors its much easier 
i had to strip out both locks on the S4 as it wouldn't lock the passenger side and so the central locking didn't work, hence no alarm.
Took about 2 hours each side to clean the doo handles/locks.
Dirt gets up into the handle runner and stops it fully returning, hence no letting it to lock., yet close.
