Help! I've got a vw golf mk3 and both front door locks have decided to pack
in.

First the drivers-side went a couple of weeks ago, but the central locking
still operated from the key in the passenger side lock, but on my way home
from work the passenger side lock gave up too. I can sit in the car and
operate the locks no problem, but when I put the key into either door I get
nothing....its as if there are no actual lock barrels present!

There is no evidence on any attempted break in on the car, and I find it
almost impossible to believe that both lock mechanisms should give up the
ghost within a few days of each other.

Has anyone had any experience with this problem before? Any suggestions of
possible fixes gratefully received.

Many thanks,

James
