Thanks guys but i've still no luck. tried the engine oil in the locks & the next day i got the key in but couldnt turn it. Also tried heating the key but couldn't turn it, it just wouldnt budge.
My brother seems to think it might be moisture in the motor bit that they key would make the door unlock with, is that a possiblity since the central locking is knackered or is the lock bit a sealed unit? if the central locking was replaced would that fix it perhaps d'ya think?
