Replaced outside cable to latch mechanism earlier. Had been opening the car from inside after it broke this morning. Just tried to get in & neither exterior or interior handles working. Done a search Stan, nothing definitive appearing, anyone any ideas, climbing over the passenger seat a wee bit unbecoming as I'm a fat bastid!

Do I butcher the door card?

Try & pop the lock with a coat hanger?

All ideas will be actioned this evening, getting really off, time for a new car looming!

Thanks in advance....

maybe dis-connect battery and hope the mechanism resets itself.. ... - .- -.

You could try prising the collar round the door "pop-up" button up and off, gripping the button with a pair of long nose pliers, pulling it up and at the same time pulling on the internal door handle as in trying to open the door. I believe this has worked for people in the past.
You might be lucky depending on what you have done inside the door.

Pop up button working ok, just disco 'd battery, was working perfect earlier on , must have loosened something . Might have to call international rescue !

Removed the window trim ,can see the mechanism ok, cable still connected ok , just tge lock not being pulled off the latch , if anyone knows how to get the lock disengaged , please pm me!

Might need this

Is that for a reaming john ?

i think there is a cam or sorts in the lock that might be jammed or in the wrong position, if it is that how to get to it will be a problem..

i suppose you have tried the key in the lock? ... - .- -.

Yes, tried the key mate, trying to force it right now, might have to be a new door card if this fails....

Well door opened, I hadn't seated the top of the cable properly which wouldn't allow enough pull on the cable. Apart from a very slightly bent door card, all well. For the next week or so no doubt!

glad its sorted and apology accepted  ... - .- -.
