Bloody front passenger door won't lock . . . .locks are bouncing, the door itsself you can not physically move the metal rod up or down, it seems stuck in the up position, i've had the door card off . . .sprayed loads of wd40 in there and tried working it up and down but it just won't budge . . . .getting pissed off now and i can't lock the car which is obviously not very clever . .
any ideas boys? . . . . i'm clean out atm . . .
Cheers, Matt . . .

can you use the key in the lock to lock it? if not, id suggest a new lock unit (not the barrel)

errrr no . . the key doesn't fit the passenger side  otherwise i'd disconnect the central locking on that side and use the key . . . . .. .honestly ffs . . . .it's difficult to see what's going on in there as well, there isn't much room to maneuver . . .

nope its pretty gay trying to work on them lol. if your sure its not the loom (assume you have done a continuity test on all the wires?) then check the drivers one as well and if not that, one of the door locks is faulty.

it's just weird mate . . . . the rod that attaches to the button will not move up or down . . . . it is quite frankly G.A.F. . . . .

yeah you cant put the locks down unless the doors are closed. in which case, is more than likely door loom...probably drivers.

i would lube the mech up with some spray oil not wd40 as thats water dispersal and only leaves a very thin layer of oil
