Just a quick final update, I saturated the locking mechanism with WD40 (actually another brand) through the key hole, through the latch itself (every which way I could insert the little hose from the spray can) and very carefully even around the little black knob in top of the door's panel...

Thanks guys. Yes I found it. Seems to be called the “pogo” door locks problem. Thanks, I’ll try to fix it myself, doesn’t seem to complex, just fiddly and time consuming. However I’ll first try what someone said, to just squirt some WD40 into the lock and just try to lubricate it first. If not...

Hello, wondering if anyone may be able to help me! When I try to lock the car with its remote, the fuel cap’s lid, boot’s lid and 3 doors all shut normally. Driver door however, makes a noise that I can only describe as an automatic gun, the little black knob on the door, that indicates...

Hi, the lid of my boot will not open. Every time I try the handle there is a 2-3 seconds grinding noise and that’s it! Surely there is something wrong with the locking mechanism but is there a way to get into it in the first place? The little emergency key is only turning 15 minutes/ 90 degrees...
