I have a boot issue, as in, I need to get into the boot!
I've got a 1985 w123 230E with original key. For a few weeks, I have found that I need to jiggle the key in the boot lock to get it to unlock. Tonight, I went to unlock it and they key will not turn at all. I've given it the WD40 and entirely too much time on my knees jiggling, wiggling, turning over the key &c but it just won't rotate in the lock at all.
The key is also a bit stiff in the driver's door lock but is working in the ignition without issue.
Vacuum system is working perfectly.
Is it just a case of the key being worn and a replacement will work just fine?
Many thanks in advance,
MA
