like the title says my mechanical locks work.. i dont have the original key the vacuum interlock system for the doors works perfectly i need to work out the trunk and fuel door but if i install a keyless entry do you think that will be an easy fix for the broken mechanical lock? ill eventualy get it fixed ( yea when the keyless entry fouls up)

circuit city has a keyless entry system for 60$ and it fits my w123 300D .. should i go for it.. it has a 4.0 rating out of 5.. i dont need to spent 300$ for an alarm keyless entry cheese grater combo

I have this exact same problem that recently cropped up. All locks work except the driver's door, which refuses to turn. PITA!

I was also thinking of going the keyless entry route but I'd have a backup solution by unlocking via the trunk, unlike you.

Good Luck

you me and stevo seem to have the same problem.. im going to go take the door panel off and take a look at whats happening

i just took my door panel off and fiddled with it.. nothing in it seems broken from what i can see... springs intact plastic stuff intact.. i didnt take the lock itself out to examine it because i dont want to screw anything up
