    Quick question, is the little tab to stop debris falling in still there?

    Seen a few posts where its failed, then fallen into the lock stopping it working.

    Well everyone... After many many many attempts, I pushed myself to try one more time before I called a tow truck to get it to the locksmiths, and IT MOVED!!! The Ezy Glide and tin of air combined pushed out heaps of dirt when I really pushed them in deep.
    I called the locksmith to ask if it was worth riding it in to have them clean it out, they said theres not much they could do without taking things apart and that I should just keep it lubricated.

    The thing that started the stoppage, was someone put too much graphite in the barrel trying to loosen it up for me. It jammed the whole thing.

    So there we go, we learn something new every day.

    Thanks for everyone's advise :)
