Doorlocks are sticking

[kenny320]

I'm having serious trouble with the doorlocks on my (wish it was mine ) friend's chimaera (94 model). They're sticking a lot and need much jiggling of the key to get them to turn. I've tried WD40 and some oil with little effect.

Is this a common problem? Am I right in guessing new locks will be needed, or will a service do the job?

lift the carpet from behind the door, all the lock mechanism is in there for you to cover with WD40

not sure if you have the same system as mine (1997) but my passenger door seems to not lock when i press my central locking plipper. I have checked the mechansim is not broken and tried to oil it...but to no avail....any ideas???????

Thanks Apache. I'll have a look when I get home, if I can get into the car
