HAMMER_VR6 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Finished work at 10pm after having a shocking day. Pressed my central locking button, lights flashed as normal. Pulled the drivers handle and nothing. The pin has popped up, but the handle just feels like its not even connected to anything. No click or tension. Climbed in threw passenger side and the interior handle wont open the door either. Again no tension.What needs replacing and how do i get door card off if i cant open the door.Please help this is seriously irritating me. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Nat 9 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 You can get the door card off with the door shut, it's just akward, firstly remove the door pin by unscrewing it. Then remove the mirror back and the door handle has a removable cover, behind that are 2 screws iirc. Then it should just be a case of popping it out. It is just clipped in round the edges. I hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites

eastwood john 1 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 is ya central locking pump making a noise when ya try open/closeing, Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER_VR6 0 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 No not that, just been researching that. No irregular noise at all, just the handle doesn;t feel connected to anything,. Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 this probably sounds really stupid.. but it's -2 where i am at the moment. could it be frozen? mine did it all winter where i couldn't open door but handle's felt like they weren't connected, but door wouldn't pop open. lock went up and down fine too. even pushing and banging door from inside wouldn't release it.don't know if it's cold enough to have done that though?doubt it would be this, but might be worth some hot water over the door seals before you start to take the door card off.

VR6Nat 9 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 It might just be the rod that connects to the door handle has come off and needs reattaching. Normally it's something simple. Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER_VR6 0 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for all the replies. I have been searching my bentley manual today and i guess the connecting rod is the fault. havn't got time to look at it today so will have to wait. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 You could try removing the weather strip at the bottom of the window and shine a light down inside the gap from outside. he lock is shielded but you may be able to hook the handle connecting rod. Link to post Share on other sites
