DB9 photos and a hiccup.

[runner911]

Folks, As requested a photo of my new acquisition in a car park earlier today overlooking Plymouth Sound with Drakes Island in the background ( I am no photographer I fear ).

The car drives beautifully, and is very different to the V8 Vantage.

Bit of a hiccup also as follows. When SWMBO tried to exit the car, the passenger door would not unlock from the inside. I had to achieve this from the outside using the door handle. Having done so , the door would then not close properly as the catch would not engage. I made matters worse by pressing the lock function on the remote which activated the catch . Then I couldn't unlock the catch with the door open and could not therefore close it .

With me so far ?

Fiddled around for a few minutes pressing the unlock button and eventually the lock did unlock enabling the door to be closed correctly.

Happened twice since.

Anyone any ideas ? Basically the door catch is not functioning as it should.

Not a clue with your problem re door latch, the 9 looks good though!

cable is caught inside.....probaly happened while at dealer...just un screw release cable...job done...5 min fix...

[runner911]

Tony, To access the cable does the door handle assembly inside just need to be removed by undoing the two torx screws ?

[tonyhall38]

yes....

Only surprising thing is that you don't always nip round and open the door for SWMBO to exit the car

I used to but a bad back and the old war wound prevents me doing so these days !

He's right.....divorce proceedings in our house if I don't open the door for my wife !

....and as well as making yourself look like a true gentleman you can also make sure that SHMBO doesn't open the door into anything (with the associated argument!!).
