Stupid car door......

[centurion07]

Handles on the rear doors of my Mondeo were a bit sticky so I take 'em both apart, lube the relevant bits & re-fit. Working fine until about 3 hours later when one of 'em decides it's not going to play ball & open the door for me.

Now before you all say what a muppet, I must stress that it WAS working before I put it all back together. Thing is, now I can't get the door open from inside OR outside, I can no longer get "inside" the door to fix the problem! D'OH!

So any ideas on how I can get the door open when there's no apparent way of unhooking the latch? There's a pin/lever thing that hooks into the handle & I think that must have come unhooked so the handle just flaps about without unlocking the catch, but as I said, now the door won't open, I can't remove the door trim & get in there to fix it!

Cheers for that. Won't let me register to post my question though!

Have to keep trying.

I've just got a nasty feeling that it's going to end up with the door card having to be destroyed to get inside & another one sourced from a scrappy. grrrrrrr.

Nah, I can hear the motor & whatnot although it doesn't sound 100% right. I will have a fiddle around with the synchronisation now that you've mentioned it. You never know eh? Ta.


erm...MEG?
