Changing a drivers door C/L solenoid

[thebiglad]

Hi guys, looks like I'm going to need to change the drivers door C/L solenoid as it needs the key to open it but closes with the fob.

Can anyone send me a link to a "How to....."

Also, are there any on-line sources for parts catalogues and workshop manuals?

Cheers
Dave

Rimmer bros has an on line parts catalogue with graphics and you can visit via a link from this forum

OK Poppy, I'll let you know how I get on, once I've got her home.

At least the return trip of about a thousand miles will give me the feel of her !!!

The trick is to open the white plastic clip at the end of the threaded bar that comes down from the handle, making a note of how many threads are showing at the bottom of the clip ;) This means you don't have to remove the handle assy at all.
Oh, and on the drivers door don't forget to swap over and refit the crosshead bar that connects the handle to the lock, or the key operation won't work :)
