The key has been getting awkward to insert and has had to have been rocked back and forth before the door finally unlocks. Anyway, today the key wouldn't insert at all. I eventually managed to persuade the key in with the aid of some boiling water (frozen v.hard) and it no longer turns at all. I can unlock/lock it by moving the little black spigot on the inside of the car but the key refuses to work. The key works fine in all the other locks on the car, but not this one. Anyway, any suggestions? Also if I want to have a look how do I get at the interior of the door to remove the handle/lock mechanism? Any help gratefully received! Thanks Again
