The tumblers were, indeed, all seized, although not as bad as Vera’s, so I took it all apart and cleaned it.
But then, on reassembly, I got some of the tumblers mixed up, so had a painstaking fiddle about to get them in the right order to fit the key!
And, to add insult to injury, one of the tiny tumbler springs disappeared into another dimension! No amount of searching could find it, so my lock barrel is now missing one tumbler. I confess, however, that I don’t think the compromised security on the boot lock will really be an issue.
It’ll all go back on the car tomorrow, unless some kind soul could express post me a teeny tumbler spring (but why would you have a spare one of those?).
