Central locking Problem

Recommended Posts

Having an issue with the locks in my car. Its an e30 by the way

Anyway yesterday i went to unlock the drivers door and the key just turned in the barrel but wasn't catching or unlocking/locking. So i tried the boot and when i unlock it all the doors unlock then proceed to relock themselves very quickly meaning i can't get into my car.

Has anyone got any suggestions about how to fix or just get into the car?

I'll most likely take it somewhere at sometime but thought i'd ask here first.

p.s. When i got it the passenger's side lock never worked but never needed it so didn't worry about it.

I took it to a lock smith today who said that i needed a replacement barrel for the drivers lock and to get one second hand. But when i was at eurorec they said i couldn't use a second hand barrel(didn't really understand why) and would need to buy one which would be like $160+keying it to my car + installation.

Does anyone know why a second hand one can't be used? Or where else i could try re a barrel?

Cheers
