Drivers door lock knackered.

As with many older Jimny's I don't have remote central locking, and last night my drivers door lock finally stopped working. It's been playing up for a while now and I noticed the protective shield in the barrel isn't operating either, so for now I'm having to access the car through the passenger side. It's the actual barrel itself that's buggered, the key works fine in the other door... I'm just wondering what the best fix is and where I can find a replacement barrel as there doesn't appear to be any on eBay, and I'll only get ripped off at Suzuki!

Hi...

A possibility: Install a aftermarket car alarm with remote control de doorlock mechanism.

Or swop i for the passengers side if its the same

I hadn't thought of swapping them around, it's a good idea as I don't need a key for the passenger side. Nice one.

Thanks for the remote central locking idea too, if I was in a better financial position that would be my preferred choice!
