sorted me door took the rubber seal inside the door off and through the gap you can see the
 lock mechanism,get a long screwdriver and push a lever and door open :smiley:.the hardest part was taking the door panel off without damaging it,theres 2 screws either side off the panel luckily the 2 screws by the drivers seat were missing,which made it easier think I will leave them out just incase and do same on passenger side...
