Passenger door wont open

Strange one - press the keyfob, car unlocks, door pins pop up, but passenger door one kind of sinks down again - door wont unlock with key or by pressing the CL button. So I cant open the door atall.

Any ideas chaps?

cheers, jj

A problem when your kerb crawling…

Try unlocking it with the key as there is a dead lock I think. The slot the key goes into should be running horizontal for the doors to open.

I disconnect the battery these days due to it being one of teh lightweight race jobbies so I haev to lock my doors this way (individually).

I had this problem intermitantly, originally the garage said it was ok, eventually they replaced either part or all of the central locking unit in the door. To relase it try flicking the central locking open and shut

or

lock it and help/force the pin down
and /or
unlock it and help/hold the pin up

eventually you should hear a noise of the pin catching and going back into place.

OK got this sorted.

No amount of pressing of buttons or pulling of handles worked. So, sitting in the car, I poked about in the exposed part of the door lock that you can see from inside. You can actually open the door this way, from the inside, by manually moving the bits. Once I had it open, sprayed a bit of grease about and now seems fine.
