Can't unlock driver's door

[enjybenjy]

Locked the car last night (haven't go t central locking).
This morning, the BASTARD WON'T LET ME IN

I can't unlock the fekkin thing now. Ideas?

WD40 and some of that silicone grease squirted in may loosen it up. For now, have you tried going in the passenger door?

[enjybenjy]

Aye. Looked like a right tit this morning, orming myself into an 18 grand car because I can't open the ing driver's door!!
I'll give it a good squirt tonight.

Had an identical problem 2 days ago - used the passenger door, then large amounts of WD40 into the lock + on the key. Wiggle it around, 1 more spray and presto - now completely sorted. Good lukck.

Thanks
So more of a squirt, wiggle it around a bit, then one last squirt to complete.
I'll go and do it now.

I hope you are sorted - its starting to get cold out there! In the meanwhile I am going for spelling and typing lessons....

That's sorted it. Thanks. WD40 is amazing stuff, and never before has it been used so much as on my Elise!
