All a bit odd, this one.
I won't bore you with the details but an entry was effected, by a supposed expert, to my locked car. When I went to it, to move it, the key wouldn't turn more than to, I suppose, 10/20 degrees. All other functions work BUT I don't like being dependant on electrics to lock/unlock the car. Presumably this is a simple(?) mechanical fault but I'm apprehensive about investigating the inside of the door or, even, removing the door card.
What I don't understand how introducing one of those inflatable devices into the gap between the door top and the roof &/or the B-pillar & flicking up the sill lbutton (at least I think that's how it was done) would cause the lock not to fully turn.
