cant open back door

hi guys,i take it nobody has a clue about gettin rear door to open,when not opening through central locking,or manually fom inside,cheers pat

Hi mate, I had this problem except mine wouldnt open from inside or outside. I had to remove the rear seat, then take off the door card which gave access to the locking mechanism.
I unclipped the central locking connector bar and immedialy the door lock worked.
the problem was the lock had stuck when the door had been opened so all it needed now was to oil everything up again.
Hope this helps.
Steve

as RangieLSE said, this is or was a common problem, but I never had to remove the seat, just pull door card carefully once the screws have been removed and lift upwards

you could burn it......

spray it wit 3 i n 1 and put back the card.

all back together and working fine, touch wood

take a tip and oil up all the other doors to save any further lock failures.
