Hi everyone, I am coming in with a question regarding the rear lock.
I have a 2001 car with central locking but without remote control, so I have to unlock the car by turning the key in one of the front door. Ever since I bought the car, I could never unlock the boot via the rear lock. I unlocks through the front door and the releasing button works just fine. But when I insert the key to the rear lock, I manage to turn it only by this much:

Which seems too little to me. I tried spraying inside of the lock with a WD-40 and I noticed that it was rust coloured when it was flushed out of the lock.

So I tried spraying it with some sort of rust remover, then blowing it out with compressed air and brake cleaner and then with WD-40 again. I have repeated this several times, but without any luck. I am still not able to fully turn the key and unlock the boot.
Would any of you guys have any recommendations, how to solve this issue?
