Rear Door Handle Not Working.... Help!

Post by Johnny chimpo » Sat Mar 10, 2012 12:07 am

Hi all hope someone can maybe help me.

My wife has came home and told me that the rear drivers side door won't open from the inside or outside handle. :x

When I lock and unlock the door with the central locking and I can see the pin going up and down but still can't get it to open.

Anyone any ideas how I can first of all get the door open and secondly fix whatever has broken.

Is this a common fault?

Cheers....
