L322 Barrel lock failure

gold rover · 2024-09-16T15:48:34+0100

I'm starting to think you lot are a jinx

Just went out to the Golden Girl, put key in lock, only opened driver's door.....ok,,,, , try again, still no joy on other doors. So I take the key out. And here comes Billy Barrel with it

Phoned mechanic, before phoning RAC, ( @Def90man will understand that one in a rural-rural area ) treat it as a lock out when you phone RAC says he. So I phone RAC , to be met with "oh I'm not sure if we cover that". So I mention lockout several,times whilst continuing to chat. Subliminal messaging, etc.

Off she goes to speak to manager, comes back and says " It's been approved as a lockout".

And here I sit with my beautiful expensive paperweight in the parking bay. Just waiting to see how big a job it is

The point of the thread? Has anyone else dealt with this one?

Perhaps, like the P38, the key mechanism is not made for regular use as it is the FOB that is normally used to lock and unlock.

When you open the door there is a rubber bung level with the handle if you remove it there is a screw which holds the handle in place, might be possible that the screw has fallen out and the screw has fallen down into the door cavity. You have to make sure when putting the handle back that it lines up with the latch mechanism or it won't open the door.

And that’s the beauty of not having to lock my mighty 90

(don’t think the locks work anyway) but three of my Mates are mechanics/engineers so it wouldn’t be a problem anyway

I said to the mechanic today, "I'm not bothered about it being locked here, but I need it to lock when I go back amongst the jungle next month"

theres a rod with the end like a philips driver end breaks off the end of the key barrel, if the barrels out a driver of the right size will unlock it

I've put the barrel back in, for now. One less place for water to get in

I'll take it out tomorrow and shine a torch in. Good news is mechanic has an abandoned L322 sitting in yard. So might be able to scavange parts if needed.

The handle is where it should be. It's the barrel that has completely left the structure. However, handle doesn't work. I'm thinking maybe the rod , or spring. But honestly don't know and won't until I can get covered space to take door card out.
