Hmmmm..... what to do...


Anybody got any ideas on how to solve the following problem? 
(Or share the same problem)

The drivers side lock can be opened with just about anything from a lolly stick, to a 
key shaped piece of metal... 

Basically I know that the locking mechanism is jammed open, but without dismantling it 
(as well as my door) I want to know if their is a simple alternative.

I have tried filling the lock with WD-40 and wiggling the key about a lot, but it has 
made little difference.

I dont really want to get a new lock as it would mean a different key. One option 
would be to get a lock made to my key spec, but that would cost heap big $...

My old camper suffered the same problem, and my friends fastback as well, so I dont 
think it is uncommon.

Any suggestions before I fill the lock in with glue, and have to scramble across the 
gearstick every morning?
