Well another fine sunny day (rain!!) thought I'd go out for a spin to get some DIY bits

Unlock car get in put key in lock turn....turn... key won't turn in lock at all not a fraction, tried a lot of force NG, tried locking and unlocking car just incase there is electronic release NG

Everywhere closed now have car stuck on drive.
I love it but these stupid faults are letting it down....

How much force did you use??

I had that once before and had to use so much force that I thought the key was going to break, you really do have to force it like a
