The lock in the driver's door stopped functioning today, when the key is pushed in it just rotates freely about 270 degrees and doesn't operate the lock. Otherwise the central locking works, so I assume there is just something broken in the lock assembly itself. There also seems to be some kind of a safety system in the lock which makes it spin freely if something other than the key is pushed in. As a matter of fact it was raining a lot of kind of a wet snow today so maybe that could have caused something like this if it froze the lock. But I still believe the lock needs fixing.
Anyway, I looked into this and there seems to be repair kits available, but just to confirm since I'm not too familiar with the mechanics of the lock , should a kit similar to this:
