Title: passenger door stuck shut
Post by: Mr. Indecisive on 15 January 2011, 15:43
went out last night and my son couldnt get the passenger door open so i had a go and its stuck shut  :sad: done a check and its coming up 01038 - Central Locking Thermal Protection , you can hear the lock working so i think the catch is stuck shut the thing is i cant get the door card of coz i cant open the door  :rolleyes:  . ive got the top part of the card open and can just about get my hand down but i dont really know what im trying to do in there it looks like theres a big white plastic block inside , think that could be the lock? 

any help would be great  :happy2: the car is an 07 edition 30 if this helps ?

well after hours of messing around with no luck id come to the conclusion it would be off to the stealers   :cry:, i told the missus and said ill go get my tools out, i gave the handle about 4-5 hard pulls and pop the bloody door opened   :laugh:  ive spray greased it loads and all the other doors so ive got my fingers crossed and am hoping for the best
