W124 door locks

Hi NumberCruncher,

I did. His reply was, and I quote: there is no information on the packsize for this item. I can only suggest that we order one and find out.

'A lucky dip then' was my riposte.... :roll:

Malcolm, where can I get PTFE from please and is the price in the same ball park or better?

Thanks

Ray

PTFE is sold by tool firms and Halfords,, it is the best as far as I am concerned

If I get some before you, I'll let you know. I'm waiting to see how many jack stops I'll need (cos my sills are being cut and welded this Sunday), so I can order everything at once. Will be going to Halfords before then to check out some PTFE. Maybe I'll get both and try one in each lock in a double-blind controlled experiment. :lol:

Screwfix also sell PTFE lubricants.

Malcolm, I shall be removing and examinng my stubborn 190 lock this weekend, while it is out of the car I want to clean it up (if possible) and lubricate it well before re-installing it. Can you confirm that PTFE spray would be the best thing to use? If so, how much - just a quick squirt or do I flush it through with a good dose? Does this also prevent the mechanism from freezing and binding up in very cold temperatures?
