For anybody else who finds their drivers door key only goes halfway in, I just pulled both lock cylinders and cleaned/regreased. Now working great.
Very straightforward as long as don’t let the pins spring out when removing the cylinder from the barrel. Keep key in while removing it then clean them one at a time.
Still planning to fit keyless entry kit but at least can lock the 80 now.

Good shout Dave, thats an investment of time you needed to make anyway, before fitting a keyless kit... one thing being unable to lock, quite another if your fob fails with you locked out, and not to have the back-up of the key!
Don’t be put off by all the wires - most of them aren’t used. You’ll need power in/out and lock/unlock (some kits have input/output for each. The remaining wires are things like: indicator flash, horn pip, alarm disarm and usually an auxiliary or two.
I’ll get mine fitted up and post a walk-through when I get a spare couple of hours.
