Hi Rangenistas,

need your help, sitting in the nowhere in France and drivers door wont open anymore....

RR Vogue MY 2004 4.4V8 Petrol (BMW ) RHD


Neither by RC nor manually by hand, neither from inside nor ouside...all doors /windows/knobs work correct.

Only the Drivers door won´t open ! Knob and glass works perfect but mechanism do not unlock...

Something in the mechanic door mechanism is broken or unhinged ?!

How to open the door to remove the Trimcard and inspect what´s happened?

Thanks in advance

Battery dis/reconnect didn´t work.... How to continue? Inner lash and outer handle doesn´t work. XJC, RRV8, Series1 86 and 107% of real pleasure

Keep locking and un locking... Maybe it will finally catch 10th time or 110th time

Sounds like the latch/lock motor has gone (but in the deadlocked state) meaning there is no way for you to get the door open without damaging parts...

tried several times with both keys and the inner switch, tried with outer handle or inner lash or both and knob blocked or not.......nothing



Any other ideas? XJC, RRV8, Series1 86 and 107% of real pleasure
