Hi guys , im having trouble with the central locking on my disco , it locks the doors no problem , but it will only open the passenger door , the levers come up on all doors but not far enough on 3 of them , I have to use the key to open the drivers door , and reach in to open both back doors , ive been told it could be a worn plastic type cam thingie , can enyone tell me the proper name for this or even better the part number , M T I A

Cam thingie is central lock and immobilising on some models , if the door pin raises and the drops back down half way or so thats a symptom of a faulty lock spring. Info is in a sticky at the top of the forum page.
