Give ALL locks a good dose of WD40 and then, operate repeatedly for a couple
of minutes.
A nice "keep it simple solution" is always best, when available.
Happy motoring,
Wally.

Peugeot 406 HDI Key not working - walter plinge  new Thu 30 Nov 06
15:05

Hi,
I have two keys for my 2000 'x' 406 HDI. One of these is a remote key
which works fine, the other a non-remote key.
Locking and Unlocking the car is fine using the remote, but both keys,
when used manually, are getting harder and harder to lock or unlock the
car. Takes a few minutes of 'wiggling' to get the key to turn. Also,
key sometimes turns around and around in lock without engaging
mechanism. This is happening to both doors!
Any advice / clues as to what might be the problem?

Also, I am looking at getting a new (second hand) remote key fob from
ebay which I intend to program to my car. This means that I will have
three keys! Can I replace the metal key part on the remote fob that I
intend to buy with my non-remote metal key. I am getting rather
confused with what I can and can't do with a second hand remote key
fob.

Lastly, I asked my local pug dealership haw much a new remote key would
be and they said £100. I have the original credit card sized card
which I believe has the details on, and I am astounded at how much a
new key is. Does £100 sound right?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
