Hi all im having problems getting into my Scorpio. When I put the key into the door lock it is just spinning around and not actuating the lock. Any ideas how I can get in and what the problem could be?
Thanks

Sounds as though the lock has failed internally. Passenger door ?, Boot? try a spare key?.

Hi thanks for reply. It turns out the problem was with the key. The metal part had come loose and was actually rotating in the key head. The locks are fine  I Found a local Ford key company http://carkeypeople.co.uk/car-makes/ford-car-keys-replacement/ the cut me a new key and the problem is now resolved. That was an easy one!

I had that happen to me on my old MKIII Granada.
A bit of araldite down the hole fixed mine.
