Hi there,
There is something wrong with the central locking on my '98 2.5 TD GLS and I can't figure out which part is going wrong!
The problem is with the driver's door - sometimes it locks and unlocks fine with the remote, sometimes the knob refuses to budge. Sometimes the key works fine, other times it really takes a lot of force to lock / unlock (and there's a loud mechanical "ka-chunk" when it finally goes)
Taken the door apart and can hear motor whining when I use the remote lock, but nothing happens.
Do I need to replace the lock barrel, the solenoid, the entire motor?
Any ideas? Fed up having a luxury car and having to use a naff key to lock and unlock!

The drivers door locks do go a bit lazy sometimes. Worth lubing the mech a bit as well. I suspect you'll need a replacement motor though, but saying that, the fact that key is stiff implies no electrical assistance :-/
