I am surprised at your lock smith, WD40 is probably one of the worst
products to put in any lock. Liquid or powdered graphite is the only thing
to use.

Not that I am condoning the acts you speak of, but In the 1700s in
Virginia slavery was perfectly acceptable and fit into the social norms
of the time. As far as the adultery went they were pretty commonplace
then as they are now. VD is another matter and where it came from, but

I've gotten the same recomendation from more than one locksmith. Note that
this was ONLY for trying to get a seized lock unstock. The tip was to
saturate the lock, try to get it to move and repeat.
I imagine it's not the recommended item for actual lubrication of the

Have you looked at the relative prices of gasoline and diesel lately?
I've heard it's only going to get worse when low-sulfur diesel is
mandated, too. Driving a diesel is quickly becoming uneconomical on a
dollar-per-mile basis.
Sounds like a bad tumbler to me. Drilling is not a very good option. I
would buy the new VIN-coded lock from the dealership, which will come
with a new key. Try the NEW key in the old lock - this may work where
an old key does not. Once the trunk is open, replace the lock. Start
using the new key

After less than a year, my VIN-cut key's head has disintegrated, leaving
me with just the metal stub. I notice Performance Products has a
replacement head, but it costs almost as much as a new key, meaning it's
only a good deal if it lasts longer than the original head did. Has

I agree. From my experience, WD-40 is good for what it was
designed--water dispersant (That is what the WD means). It does
lubricate slightly--so does water. I have found that it evaporates
quickly, and you are back to square one (no lubrication). There are many
good lubricants on the market: this
How much do they want for one? It shouldn't be more than $16.00, that is
what we sell them for. They work very well.

I am going to be selling my 1990 300D 2.5 244K soon. I am however still
looking for something a little larger; I think I will have to find an
SDL. At any rate, before I sell it I want to ensure my good karma and
replace a bad motor mount that I have. Any ideas on cost? I can do
