Hello
I bought a Series 3 last weekend. Never owned one before . It's fitted with Anti burst locks and barrels for which I have the keys. I cannot for the life of me work out how the hell I lock the doors. Both keys work and I've tried every possible way, but I can't lock them. Am I missing something or just being stupid. Help please!! I don't want me Landy pinched.

when you say the keys work, does the barrel spin round like it should do?

Hi.
The key only turns 45 degrees (then can get key out). This is the same for other doors.

Hi again
Should the barrel turn?

OK, just applied liberal amounts of WD40 and locks now work fine. What a knob head:doh:

Now get an airline or some spray alcohol (or both) and get that WD40 residue out of there before it starts collecting every passing bit of dirt and grit and f***s your locks up. Then lubricate them properly with graphite powder.
