door not locking with fob and radio stating on when key is out ignition?

It might be worth getting some proper lock lubricant, such as powdered graphite, from a locksmith. Dont use anything like WD40 spray oil, that will make it worse.

Lorraine,

Had a similar problem with a vauxhall astra, it turned out to be when you remove the key from the ignition barrel, the actual barrel itself would not pull out and was sitting flush. This sends a message to your engine management system that the key is still in, try re-inserting your key and as your about pull it out fully give it a slight twist, so that the ignition barrel is fully out. This in turn will switch off your radio and lock your doors, when you press the key fob.

Good Luck
