My zed has been parked up a while. The central locking is working, at least I hear it, but the drivers door won't unlock. I've tried to unlock manually from the inside but that isn't releasing the door lock either.

 

Anyone with an idea how I'm going to sort this? Already sprayed in wd40 to no avail.

Sounds like one of your lock levers has been dislodged. Power the window down and shine a tourch down to the locking rods to see if all is ok.

That's what I'd have thought too.....

….And welcome back WIllie; hope all's well mate!!

I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:

When mine did this (iin a supermarket car park!) it was the plastic door lock mechanism that had given up. After removing the door card and swapping them out, its been fine since and actually feels stronger when turning the key

I thought that at first when reading it as my lock barrel current spins and that'  what I suspect my issue is.  but then thought it' more likely the rod thing above as he said the centra locking isn't working.  

 

Given he can' even open from the inside, I'd agree it sounds like the rods are attached somewhere.  Could even be at the interior handle.
