96 Disco door lock issue

Hi all, new owner of a 96 Discovery.
The owner provided a key fob he hasn't used in a while. I have the
instructions on how to get the key fob working again, BUT the issue is there
is something wrong with the driver door lock when using a key. Putting the
key in and turning it does nothing. I have gotten the door panel off and
can see that if I depress the driver door lock inside, the lock functions
fine and there is a part on the key cylinder that turns. When I turn the
key, there is a part at the end of the cylinder that turns, but the part
that turns when using the knob isn't turning. I suspect something is broken
or missing there. Any thoughts? Any web links to images of what is
supposed to be there?
To reply to me directly, remove the written out number before and after the
@ sign.

Thanks,
C R

It sounds like one of the link rods is missing (probably a clip
has broken), and the rod is in the bottom of the door.

If you mail me your fax number I can fax you a picture.
