hey guy's i'm having problems getting in my car.

sometimes i put the key in the lock turn it and i'm in! easy

but others i put the key in the lock, it won't turn and i have to stand there like a t!t for 2 minutes wiggling the key about in the hole until it magically decides to fecking open!

what's that about then?

Crappy GM lock barrel....

WD will help to free it off but long term you'd probably be better with a Silicon lube.

Heh! Damn heavyweight luxobarge.

Much more fun to throw the keys over the roof.

I'll still have the manual window winders though...

I saw a post somewhere about this from
maplin

The guy had it wired up to his alarm so it worked as a remote central locking system for his S2 and the cost was 30quid all in.

You`d probably have to be handy with a soldering iron.

i'm sure it would be a total b@5t@rd to fit tho

I've had similar fun after getting out of my car. Open the passenger door to clip the roof back on and then spend about 5 minutes pushing the door closed at various speeds until it fully closes! Some random adjusting and lubricating required...
