Door slow to open

[blade1000]

Driver's door is not opening at the first press of the button, windows opens and it trys to release the catch, but takes 2 or 3 attempts for button to release the door, i guess it needs greasing or something?? any advice?

Hey there,

If the doors are sticking and not opening properly, it may mean the door has dropped slightly on its hinges or the bar that the closed door latches onto has moved slightly. The plate can move slightly when driving over a very rough surface. You need a tool very similar to "circlip" pliers to turn the round plate "anticlockwise" to slacken the plate then adjust and tighten again.

If it's not that then the door solenoid could be on its way out. You could try spraying some WD40 onto the solenoid or it may need replacing.

Hope that points you in the right direction!

Just sorted the very same problem with mine. The door catch was loose. I removed the silver cover 3 screws then nipped the catch up 2 allen screws. Good as new. Pops open now as it should.
