Hi all. Just signed up to this site to see if any1 can help me please.
Just brought a saxo (t reg) bloke explained doors wouldn't open at the front (centeral locking) the drivers door will open from pulling up the door pin with plyers. Took the door card off this morning, replaced the locking mechanism and all worked fine.....now it picks and chooses when it wants to work, the key fob opens the doors but it doesn't always open (the door won't release)

The passenger door was a nightmare! Assumed the lock had seized up, couldn't get it open and had to try remove door card from inside. Couldn't see any wrongs with the locks so further figured it was the lock stuck over. After 3 hours I drilled the door handle out and pulling the rod that was attached to the door from the outside handle it released! Changed the locking mechanism ( checked it all worked and moved) shut the door and its bloody stuck again! I cant open it from the outside (no handle now) and i cant open it from the inside either! I really don't have a clue what to do now as I can sort of cope with the irregularity of the drivers door but its bait embarrassing when my passengers are kinking over me to get in/out. Please any help is appreciated!

Sorry for the essay :-)

Try opening it and lifting the door at the same time, the door could of collapsed
