    sounds like summats jammed under there shouldnt be sitting like that if the key wont work then i would take the undershielkd off and see if i can remove whatever it is from underneath first or take it back to the garage and tell them what they have done and get them to sort it ide probably do that first

    Spent a day on the father in law's mk2 after a garage left his with a damaged lock. Took the underbody shield off, dropped the radiator from the bottom, pushed (carefully!) the screws up through the uper rad shield and even got the grill out without damaging it or the car. Got me nowhere and it took a garage with a pit or ramps 30 mins to sort out. £60 including the part, which we took round to the first garage to reimburse. Good luck. You could do it yourself but the cut knuckles ain't worth it and the washer bottle won't stay full for long.
