    Door wont open from outside

    Strange problems this morning, unlocked the car, pulled drivers door handle to open door, but door wont open. It opens fine from inside.

    I presume something has come adrift/broken on the handle, are they easy to remove?

    Cheers Jimmy, will get a copy of the Haynes and have a look.

    Got a set of carpet mats, would rather have had rubber.

    Cheers Claymore, door cards easy to come off? They look straight forward.

    Jimmie, PM me with a price please.

    Door handle is independent of the mechanism. It might have just cam'd over the postion it supposed to br and now be on the wrong side. Undo the screws and refit the handle should fix it. I did it to mine a while back..
