I have a 1986 Model 240 saloon and the drivers door lock and plunger knob is not activating the central locking correctly when locking the drivers door with the key. Fortunately, it does work correctly when unlocking the drivers door with the key. It is only the microswitch round the lock barrel that has failed. Consequently there is a workaround of pressing the plunger rod down to activate central locking (locks the other doors) and then turn the key to lock the drivers door. Obviously it would be good to replace the barrel lock microswitch which comes as part of a jointly wired set of 2 microswitches, but this is no longer available as a new part. If anyone is breaking a 1986 model 240 and has these microswitches and wiring I would be interested.
