Help!! cant open boot!

debred86

The lock on my boot wont open, i cant get my key in all the way. I've sprayed WD40 in and that hasnt helped, i've even tried the spare key, it just wont budge. Am i gonna have 2 take it to the garage, and is it gonna b expensive?

Cheers

It's a good idea to tell the group make model and year of the car in question!

Give the WD40 more time to work. Make sure that you spray it in the bit the key goes into, not just on the outside. You may need to reapply a few times.

Has it ever been awkward before today?

Any chance you can get at the boot from the inside by dropping or removing the back seat(s) and possibly spray the lock bit (don't know the correct word for it) with WD40 as well?

Its a 2003 ford ka, had no problems before, just wondering if all the rain weve had over the past couple of days might have got in and affected the metal somehow. yep i've tried from the inside, and squirted it from in there but with no joy. i'll give it another go in the mornin with wd40, if not think i'll have to give in and go theto garage.

try some silicone spray instead of the WD40...much better for locks IMHO
