Hi Everyone,

I've flicked through 24 pages and the search doesn't appear to be working so, please go easy on me if this is asked constantly (not that I could find it being asked before!).

So, I'm borrowing a T350 for a day or so, I was out earlier and I couldn't get the damned passenger door open from either inside or out. Got home, tried it again...voila. I then went to fil up with fuel and guess what......the bloomin' drivers door wouldn't open!! Ten minutes. TEN BLOODY MINUTES sat at the petrol station trying to get the effing door open, I felt like such a bloody idiot!!

Anyway, it's as if the lock isn't staying open for long enough when the button is pressed. It releases and pushes the door, just not quite far enough to get past the latch. Is this a common problem that there's an easy fix for, or just the TVR enjoying my company a little too much?

(PS. Awesome car. Would love one, even with temperamental doors)

Thanks in advance,

grumbledoak

There is (should be) a red handle down by your right knee for emergencies. Next time, pull that.

Not sure about the fault- electrics full of rainwater, or possibly physically dropped doors?
