When my ignition lock played up for the last time I took desperate
measures and flooded the cylinder with WD-40. Believe me, I know this
is not what you should do. The cylinder immediately worked and has
worked for months. I figured, what do I have to lose.

I used the old graphite & oil routine for 3 or 4 years. Then something went haywire and I was finally forced to remove the door lock and soak it and clean it - life has never been the same since. That passenger lock has been amazingly easy to turn and twist. I think I put some photos up which are in the album  Brian';s Door Lock Repair

If your lock is just a lock (old school) get some graphite lock oil; comes in a little can like 3-in-1 oil or a plastic squirt tube at any auto supply store. Apply to key and stick key in lock; gently work key in and our. Repeat… Should get easier to work in and out, and with twisting. Bill in Oregon

I went to lock my car (80-240) the other day, the locks have always worked good, but this time the key would hardly turn, I did lock it, very carefully, it felt like the key might break if I turned it normal like. Is my car getting old or something?  What to do? Max

There are a number of Youtube or other DIY tutorials on replacing seat covers, springs, and pads. Lots of alternatives to choose from on the web. Such as
