Cant ****** Open Driver Side Door - Help needed

[.:Dave:.]

Closed the door yesterday and locked as usual,

Notice the door was sticking out a bit > unlocked it > tried to open door and the handle doesnt work.

Central locking unlocks then locks straight away.

I can get in through the other doors, but the one that matters is stuck.

i have tried my best to get the door open through the interior, but with it being closed this is rather hard.


Has this happened to anyone before,

Is there anything i can do?

[j-top paj]

have you tried pulling it shut completely?
and then opening it?

if all else fails you may have to remove the seat, then take off the door trim and open the door like that.
maybe the conection from the handle to the latch has fallen off or something?

Disconnect the battery to disable the central locking.

Well i tried getting off as much trim as i could this morning, but this did not help,

I ran out of time and just decided to drive it and go out the passenger side.

When i got there (angry at the door) i started shoulder barging it while pulling the latch and moving the lock-tab-thing up and down.

And it poped open,

Door now works perfectly fine

Must have been stuck or something > beats me ????


Thanks for the suggestions (the battery and seat were not far off)

Cheers,
Dave
