Panting like a fiend
Just a quick query, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal with a stiff/squeeky lock on a car.

Basically the drivers side lock on our car is stiff/squeeky (it's central locking and works fine if you unlock from the other side, but is stiff when you use the key in it).

I'm guessing it needs lubricating, or possibly cleaning, does anyone have any experience of dealing with stiff car locks? (first problem we've had with the car in 5 years, apart from the time my dad left the door ajar for about 2 days - which drained the battery :p).

Thanks, and hope everyone had a good Christmas :)
 
Aye WD40 will be fine. My boot lock was jammed up so the key wouldnt even turn, a squirt of WD40 leave a few mins and then its all working fine again.
