My passenger side door lock was playing up, which was a bit of a pain, didn't work on the remote but could be operated manually by pushing and pulling the knob.
Now it is stuck down and won't pull up, which means I can't open the door, which presumably means I can't get the door trim off to get at the lock.
Any advice..

I'd advise not leaving it so long next time.. :-)

I'd try an auto locksmith and see if he can get the thing open with his tools down the window opening.

Had the same problem on the drivers side where the door intetmittently didn't open or lock. Had to have some little actuator thing replaced. On the drivers side you could at least manually lock/unlock with the key. Don't know if it helps on the passenger side??

Monkfish have ordered me an actuator, they believe they can remove the door card with the door locked. Hopefully it will be sorted without me having to angle grind the hinges off!!

I don't have the external hinges on mine :-)

Hope it works out ok.
