Driver door won't open from the outside - any ideas?

[Green is good]

Hi Guys,
Went to check out the Chim today after a month in storage and the driver door won't open when I push the button in the door mirror. You can hear a whirring sound which I presume is the motor but the door stays shut. Opened the passenger door and then opened the driver door from the inside as normal hoping that would work but still no joy. Any ideas gratefully received. 1997 4.0 by the way.

Try pressing the button rapidly five or six times. The motors are weak in mine and this trick usually opens the doors. I even spent a couple of hours once dismantling the mechanism and the motors within to clean up the armatures, which extended their life a couple of years. Best to just buy new assemblies: Maplin seem to have the best price.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try tomorrow.http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/imgs/10.gif
