Mahoosive thanks to Josh and Symes for their input, and especially to that Gixer fellow for all his efforts today

Went to get out of the car at Oxford, only to find that the drivers door wouldn't open from either the inside or the outside

The lock mechanism had failed internally, jamming it shut, which is less than ideal still, thanks to Chris for supplying a replacement mechanism, and a very determined AA man for getting the door open so we could fit it

Apologies for the problem Tom, and I trust you had a safe and uneventful trip home

[Vamps]

Sounds like you had most of OOF to help you out.......

Indeed quite embarrassing really, as I was delivering the car to its new owner... compounded somewhat by my managing to lock the keys in the car during the early attempts to release the latch

Still all's well ends well

Yep, we got there in the end.

Fair play to the AA man, he wouldn't leave it, and wasn't obliged to fix the door, just unlock the car. Good man.

if that had been the RAC he would have gone without opening the door

Pot luck I think Wilf, we got lucky with this guy. Bless him.

...actually, thinking about it that's probably unfair, on the few encounters I've had with the AA they've always been as helpful as is humanly possible.

I think he relished the challenge tbh, but have to agree, I've yet to meet an unhelpful AA patrol

If that had been the RAC you would still be locked in your car waiting for them to turn up!!!!
