96 1.5 Door lock failure - jpwilman
The front passenger side door lock and the rear drivers side door lock have jammed shut locked. The car is an XTD and has central locking. I manged to get the interior door panel off and have tried to figure out a way to open the door. I am now at the stage of knocking the plastic off the lock mechanism to get in to the lock to unlock the door.
Any ideas on how to unlock the door and get it open so I can replace the lock.
I have been told that the usual problem is a small spring in the lock mechanism.
Unfortunately to get a lock from a scrap yard they will only sell you the whole door £50 or a new lock mechanism from a parts center is £60. Any cheaper ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks

John

try another scrapyard ,its ridiculous they wont sell the lock mechanism unless its due to one part being pop riveted in,its ages since i had to do a door swap on a 106 but i remember the lock mechanism was a right keefaddle to swap over what with limited access and all
