Driver door wont open

 

Unlocked the car with key or with phob but will not let me open the door

 

Can hear the central locking working

 

The boot and passenger door opens fine but not drivers door

 

And the inside lock wont open the door

 

The bit next to the door handle is moving fine

 

Tried the door lock button insode aswell amd still no luck

 

 

Any ideas how to get the door to open ????

Sounds to me like the handle has come detached from the cable that operates the locks, however I'm pretty sure there is a cable for each handle plus another for each licking mechanism so that would mean all 4 cables have cone undone :wacko:

Sorry, missed this, search for my thread on this, the return spring for the opening mechanism on the door handle assembly is latched to a plastic pin, it was intermitant on mine for a year and a bit, I thought it was a sticking lock as it seemed to cure itself every time I got in and lubed it. As it was off the road a proper strip down revealed this.

 

If its the same problem its not the lock (at botom of door) its not the handle, its the handle mechanism and be prepared to pay quite a bit for it... Some would laugh at my fix but its by far the cheapest option and it works... Hope it helps... Cheers...
