Hello everyone, The passenger door handle on my car isn't opening the door anymore. It won't unlock either. What happened is I was trying to open the door from inside the car and my mum was trying to open it from outside. I heard a snapping sound and now it won't do anything. I think the cable broke.
Can it be fixed at home as I want to spend as little as possible
Cheers,

It's not cable operated -it's a metal rod.
Hopefully you've just done something reversible like dislodging the rod from where it clips in.... only thing to do is strip it down & see what's going on.
There's a workshop manual on the site which can be handy, you can download it or you can get a copy on disc really cheap off eBay.
 
Does anyone know how to remove the window winder and the rest of the interior door trim without removing the door?
Cheers
Heather
 
No.... but i will tomorrow. Need to sort out my passenger lock so if you can wait till then i will even provide photo's.
Door furniture will unscrew, you shouldn't need to remove the window, & the door card is held in by red plastic push in plugs- the art is removing them without snapping the old & tired plastic plugs.
 
Turned out the metal rod thing in it had come loose from the bit that works it. After taking the interior trim off, I took the door handle off and fiddled with the metal rod thing near the lock, I heard a clicking sound and then it was fixed.
The problem I have now is I can't remember how to put it back together again... ?
