Puegeot 406 - Fixing Door Locks Where a Key Spins in the Lock 25 Oct 2016 (Forum)
I have seen various postings regarding door locks on older 406's( particularly after a spell of cold weather) where the keys just turn in the lock without functioning.

Ford Ka 1.3l, R Reg (1998) - Ford Ka Braking Issue 25 Jun 2016 (Forum)
A week later he took it to Kwik Fit to fit a new back box on the exhaust and they said the n/s front wheel was red hot, he took it to another garage as he couldn't get hold of his mate, (and still can't), they had it a week and they changed the calipers and master cylinder but the brakes were still binding, they didn't know what else to do so gave it back to him with the brakes still binding and suggested he go to a Ford dealer who might be able to help but he is reluctant to do that as the costs are now mounting and cant really afford the charges. -
