broken door mechanism

this has now happened to me twice now
where i cannot open the door from this inside
it is a f****** pain in the arse
i had it fixed the first time but now that my warranty has expired
i have to fix it myself
i have taken the door pannel off to see what was the prob but not conclusive result
does anybody have a clue at what it might be and how to fix it?

Don't GP's have 3 year warranties so it should still be covered?

"Don't GP's have 3 year warranties so it should still be covered? "

2 years Direct from Fiat and 3rd year Dealer warenty..... (that's what i have anyway)

door cards easy to remove need an Allan key 5mm IIRC its nothing simple its inside a sealed black box (solonide/ locking unit for the central locking iirc)

So this is not covered by dealer warranty?

Re: broken door mechanism

..................when you've finished,take it back to garage to get fixed but you could try checking the cable at the inner door handle hasn't slipped out of its retaing seat (its hooked into the handle itself but also should be clipped in a retaining groove.

Door lock problem

I have suffered the door lock problem today! The car is booked in for wendesday to have it fixed. I was just wondering anyone who has had it done how long it took as I am at work at 3 in the afternoon. Do I stay with the car or drop the car off and pick it up later on?

Alex
