harin 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Hi all, So tried to get into the rado this morning and the key wouldn't go into the drivers side lock. Tried a couple of times and it finally went in but then wouldn't turn! Has anyone had this before? Slightly worried that someone may have tried to break in but can't see any bent metal but knowing people round here they might have tried to shove something in the lock just for fun. The little key flap has a slight dent right in the middle but that's probably due to key being put in so many times. Anyway it's likely that if someone did shove a screwdriver I'm there the flap would have been left open but it wasn't. Or am I in denial?? What do you think? Car is parked on the street so it's gig to be a long night :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 10, 2010 Check underneath your door handle just to make sure no one has tried to get in that way. Also is your handle loose atall mine would be difficult to turn the key sometimes turns out the bolt that holds the handle in place had come loose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really loose but will check the bolt tomorrow. Will have to get an alarm soon I think! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harin 0 Posted August 15, 2010 So took the lock and handle off a little while ago and it does look like someone shoved a screwdriver in there and damaged the first pin in the barrel. Had to take barrel out, sand down the first hole then give it a clean. Need smaller hands! Going to put it all back together now and hope it still works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
