OK, so I picked up my '97 XJR and drove it from San Jose to L.A. That was nice. Today I go to drop my girl off at school and the rear doorhandle no longer works (inside or out!). The handle was working on Saturday... I thought Jaguar had solved their quality control problems!!! What have I let myself in for??
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this without a huge dealer bill?

Good thinking. It crossed my mind that the child lock may have a part to play. Unfortuntely, I can't open the door to check due to the fact the door can't be opened from the outside...must be the internal latch mechanism. Ah well... off to the dealer I suppose. Thanks for your thoughts chaps.
