We've managed it in our lass's car by taking the lock out, turning it face down and ****ting it a few times .. a Landy lock ought to be used to being ****ted about a bit, so it might be easier than taking the whole barrel apart ... 
Sorry, our lass's car is a Nissan Micra ...
I took my rear door lock out (to change the springs) by doing just that though ... rear door panel off, then undo the screws holding it in. A good tip is to take a few decent pictures of the linkages or label them so you can get them back into the same orientation, or the lock won't work. They're mostly length dependant though, and won't fit properly if put in wrongly, but still best to be sure ..

after climbing inside the boot, in 26 DEG !!! not the best idea i know! and removing the rear panel, handle and speakers I took everything off the latch and lock assembly, put it back into position and tried the central locking. the back lock went up and down as it should, which it did not do before hence having to use the key. I tried the door from inside and it opened! I couldnt believe it! no key and it opened!
got out the boot and tried it from the outside..... and it worked!!!
I could not believe it! so yes there is stil half a key broken off inside the lock but now having seemingly fixed the original problem the door opens with the central locking! HAPPY DAYS!
Also while one I had a look in to why the rear electric windows didnt work, read up on the here and found the thread on checking the solder on the ECU under the glove box, found the faulty solder, re-soldered and bobs your uncle another little job sorted!
