Yes, your dealer should 100% sort it. If not under warranty, then under the 7 year corrosion guarantee! Cheers, David

May be worth trying graphite powder instead of anti-seize fluid. It fixed an ignition barrel that wouldn't allow me to turn the key (start the engine) on my old Discovery.

Thanks Guys,
I'll be contacting the dealer on Monday but in the meantime I have some graphite lube in my workshop so I'll try that. Re pressing the lock button twice, is that the lock button on the fob? I don't recollect seeing that in the handbook, I'll check tomorrow. Chris 2010 Defender 110 Station Wagon, Santorini Black. |

I had this problem with the drivers door lock a few months ago.
The lock was solid & the key would only go about a quarter of the way into the barrel. I started off with loads of WD40, and then moved onto drowning it with a thicker '3 in 1' type oil. It took two or three days of repeated applications, but each time I could jiggle the key a little further into the lock, and eventually it completely freed up. You might not have the time for this process - Or be as lucky! "davidwhittaker": Why would this be a warranty claim? You cannot blame Land Rover for everything! It's a plain and simple maintenance issue. If you drive off road, and/or use a pressure washer, you will be amazed at how much cr@p will find its way into the lock barrel. I never had a problem with my 'old' manual locking LR's, because I used the locks on a daily basis, and so could tell when a drop of oil was needed. But, if you have new fangled remote central locking and only use the drivers door lock once in a blue moon, you could already have a problem waiting to be discovered. Interestingly, the rear door lock barrel was still operating as smooth as silk. So, the moral of this story is: Reach for the oil cans boys + girls!  '57 Defender 110 XS Station Wagon 2.4tdci |

Puma XS, this is exactly the symptoms I had, at first the key would only go in half way, then with a bit of jiggling it went all the way in but the barrel still doesn't turn, hopefully, as you say a few days with oil and graphite might see it moving, unfortunately, even if LR do agree to fix it it will be several weeks before they can have it as we're off on Tuesday. So I'll put a can of WD40 in the vehicle and give it a squirt every day and hope for the best!
I can see how crap would have got in, there doesnt seem to be the little flap covering the key slot, hopefully this is just stuck open with corrosion and hasn't dropped off into the barrel mechanism. My rear lock is also, as you say, smoth as silk......strange, but at least I seem to be able to lock without alarm as I described in my earlier post.

The lock is warrantable, you should try the rear door too! Both of ours were seized, dealer got the rear door to free off but had to replace the driver's door lock. But there was a problem, recent door lock orders were taking more than a year to arrive!!! A post here though sparked watchers from Land Rover Customer Service into action and it was all sorted in about 6 weeks, and they've kept in touch with all our warranty issues (of which there have been many) since then!

Chris CM:
Stick with it if you've managed to free up the barrel enough to fully insert the key. As you say, the lock will still be reluctant to turn at first. Mine would initially only turn to lock, but, with more oil and time spent gently + repeatedly jiggling the key, it did eventually lock + unlock every time. The little sprung flap on the lock plate was not stuck open on mine, so yours will obviously have been letting in more water + cr@p. I can't be 100% certain, but I felt that I made more progress once I started using the thicker '3 in 1' oil, as it seemed to better lubricate things. This is the kind of job that Sundays were made for!!!  '57 Defender 110 XS Station Wagon 2.4tdci |

I'll keep at it with the oil WD40 and contact the dealer tomorrow, if orders are taking several weeks best to get it ordered before I go on holiday (if they will look at it tomorrow.

The corrosion warranty is for perforation of the metal from inside out, not locks or other ancillaries. 2.4 90 XS 1968 1/32 scale Britains 109 Pick up. |

Been to the dealer, quick look, there may be something in the barrel, perhaps the slot cover? So may not be covered by warranty. They will look at it again when I get back from holiday and consult the warranty manager, seems the delivery time for a new barrel is about 2 weeks.
I'll keep on squirting the wd40, you never know it might free off. Chris 2010 Defender 110 Station Wagon, Santorini Black. |

Is the 2 week turnaround for ordering a 'suited' lock barrel, so that the driver's + rear door will still operate using the same key? '57 Defender 110 XS Station Wagon 2.4tdci

Are you still having trouble locking it without alarming it? If you are, I may have a solution. Not sure however if this will work on the Pumas (pretty sure it should do!) I always lock my Tdi like this...
Have the door open, then push the button on the door handle halfway in, then push the lock lever all the way down on the inside of the door, whilst still holding the button in. This should then activate the lock, and when you shut the door it should lock its self. Hope that helps An engine to TDi for!
