Hi all

Anyone else experienced this?:

The lock barrel on our 156 (drivers door) occasionally sticks in, meaning the door will not close. Normally, a quick prod of the internal door lock button will make it pop out again - but not this morning, I actually had to put the key in the lock and turn it very slightly in order for it to pop out. I'm assuming this is only going to get worse

This may sound silly, but this always seems to happen when the car has been washed, or at least when the lock is very wet.

Am I looking at a new lock? If so, I'm assuming that means new keys etc

Just a bit of Italian "character", I guess
