Driver's side door won't open...
« on: 02 February 2009, 12:41 »
It's my own stupid fault. When I put the new driver outside handle on, I misplaced one of the screws, the one on the outside of the door, not on the side, if that makes any difference. Anyway, I was gonna get a new one from B&Q or whatever but I forgot, and I went to get in my car the other day, and the barrel wouln't turn. Can't even pull the pin up from the inside  :cry: :cry: lol. Any ideas?? I tried taking the door card off but I couldn't even find any screws haha. And in terms of takin off the window winder and inside door handle to get the card off, how do I do this?

If you have only fitted the screw that goes under the plastic strip, and not the other one, you can still remove the door handle. So remove it, then unlock it from the inside and it should open.

Nop, it's the other one, the one you can't get to unless the doors open lol. I think I may have it sussed. It has (I believe) a torque screw down the side of the door card. I'll get me old man to bring one home so I can take that off, hopefully be able to get the card off, and then get to the latch...in a perfect world, at least...
