paul.

Amjad Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I've got the same problem with my boot lock, can't even move the key when it's in the lock, but the boot opens fine from the interior cable pull Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 My locks would be like that, go to turn the key and it would be solid..had to wiggle it to unlock the door.The wd40 trick worked for a couple of months n then had to spray them again.If you havnt already get a decent alarm with remote central locking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 my boot's the same, opens from the lever but not the lock, no biggy really....touch wood lol.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul. Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 must check it out tho and see what the common probelm is. if i ever get time.the boot is annoying as i always go to the lock before lever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ep82_girl Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 mine wouldnt open with the key for a while (boot) took kennedys advice sprayed wd40 and its working now!!! xxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 ^When the weather was really cold a few weeks ago I sprayed some WD-40 into my door locks and now they're slick as anything I didn't think of doing it to the boot, I thought maybe it was because I was using a copy of the master key? I'll give it a go, hopefully it works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ep82_girl Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 ^^ yeah give it a go xxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Despite being freezing outside I just went to have a go lol IT WORKS! I removed the little mechanism from the bottom of the bootlid, sprayed WD-40 inside it, along the mechanism going up to the lock and inside the keyhole and voila, functional boot lock!Thanks everyone!

Sparky Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Probably more to do with the weather we are having, mine are really stiff at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Paul there's probably a hook or something for the key mechanism, and it may have come off?The only way to sort it is probably to take the door cards off and checked everything's hooked up correctly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well I haven't taken them off myself, but should be quite easy. It's worth giving it a go I reckon! Maybe heat up the plastics a tiny bit with a hairdryer/heatgun so they don't crack when you try to remove them?The boot is simple, just unbolt the mechanism as the bottom, and spray WD-40 all over it, wipe over and spray again, then up the metal wire/rope which leads towards the keyhole, you'll know what I mean when you take a look No probs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Nope just at the bottom of the bootlid, just two bolts and it comes loose You don't need to open up the trim, just get this catch loose, lubricate it all, and you'll see the thin metal pole type thing that goes from this mechanism to the bootlock. When you turn the key, it pulls on this pole, which in turn moves the catch, so lubricate it and loosen it up with your fingers by puling on it gently so the catch moves. Then spray the key with WD-40, and also lube up the inside of the keyhole and give the key a few turns, eventually it should come loose and work perfectly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
