As the title states really. The passenger door is shut and will not open at all. The key does not seem to unlock it, and I cannot get the interior latch to do anything. The door has been stripped down so I have full access to the internals but I cannot make it budge. The lock pin, the one that rises vertically from the lock to the window, connects to a small black cylinder that he a number of wires attached to it. I am assuming that this is some form of electric central locking. The lock itself is hidden behind the metal structure of the door and relatively out of reach. I do not want to refit the central locking, I am not even that bothered if the lock will not operate from the key as long as I can unlock it from the inside and then open it from both sides, MOT fail point. The car is going to be a track toy so central locking etc is not needed.
Many thanks,
Jon

I had the same problem with my rear door its a latch problem try pushing the door in with you body at the same time pull on the handle, not easy,it cured it for a while in the end we had to replace the mech in the door.
