Tom123456789 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Morning all, Recently my boot lid has stopped opening when I use the key (mechanical key). However, it still works perfectly fine when I press the boot open button inside the car. Just not when I put the key in, it doesn't turn. Any ideas on how to fix this?

isetta Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 does the key turn as far as it did in past or not. If not, try some wd40 in the lock. if it does then it sounds like you need to take the trim of the inside of the bootlid and look at the link between the lock barrel and the catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom123456789 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Doesn't turn at all now, completely stuck. Will try WD40 tomorrow after work Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 also that style of car key is bad for wearing out. does the key look very worn? do you have a spare key in better condition that you can try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom123456789 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 No key is fairly new - I lost the old about 18 months ago, so shouldnt havent worn that much. Tried both new one and old spare, neither turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
