You know, I was thinking about this while driving this evening (well,
you probably don't know, but believe me), and I got to thinking you need
to take out the lock, take it to a locksmith, and let him do whatever to
get the little things inside working right again. Those guys know how
to do that kind of thing, doesn't take long, and doesn't cost too much.

I don't recall these being interchangeable but a new lock (like $300 last
one I got) comes keyed to the car and includes a new key.

Why not just swap the driver's door lock/handle with the one from the
passenger side? They are interchangeable.
If you don't know how to do this, let me know - it takes about 5
minutes to
do.

The well-worn original key to my W123 300TD has quit operating the
DRIVER'S
DOOR lock. It fits the ignition and PS door flawlessly, however. For
awhile I could UNlock the door, but that functionality recently ceased to
exist. The key actually is slightly chipped in one place near the
haft, but
somehow this ONLY affects the driver's door. What a PIA. Should I go
ahead
and order a second OEM key from the dealer based on the car's VIN, or
could
the problem lie with the DS door lock?
