03 LDV Pilot door locks - callum1234

Hi, I have a ldv pilot 03 and the door locks seem to stick sometimes when unlocking, they unlock with the key but not when using the door handle, apart from buying new locks is there anything else that can be done. Cheers.

try plenty of lube into the lock assembly, ( not the key barrel). Cycle chain lube can be good as its designed not to be sticky.

Or pop to your local locksmith or indeed motor factors, try dry graphite lubricant, don't use WD 40 - if this is a Ford type brass key it may be a worn key.
