Hi Daz, sounds like the tension spring has fallen off that keeps the lever in the lock assy from dropping down, when this happens the lock will give the symptoms you describe contact me on nige110162@hotmail.co.uk and I'll mail you a picture of where this spring should go and how to get around it!!
