Cannot open drivers door from inside
 

Hi Guys,
Drivers door won't open from inside. Have to wind down window and use outside handle. No resistance felt at all when pulling inside handle.
Any ideas anyone please ?

The cable might've come off the hook, pop the screw cover off and remove handle, you should see the hook. If it's broken, then door card off to repair/replace:cool:

Thank you for quick response. I will take a look.

Correct 🙂
Yes, the hook is broken right at the end. Is there a bodge one can do ?? Glue ?? Looks like it's a plastic hook ? Thanks
Alternatively is replacing the wire a big job ?

There is a fix using a cable ring connector, hang fire I'll take a look:cool:
Here it is, you might have to contact Steve (Arctic) for the pics https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=122319

Much appreciated. Thank You. I presume the lever and it's backing has to be pushed back in from the rear because I cannot get it all in pushing it in from the front while the door is completely intact ??

Hi Steve you could try this below.

Purchase a curtain hook, and also use an electric connector fig 1

screw the curtain ring into the connector, and then crimp it.

Push the door cable into the other end of the connector and crimp, open the curtain hook and put it through the door handle puller

Close the hook bac up and put wire through the slot in the handle.

Alternatively you could use a chock block and some wire as below.

a few ways there for you ;)

Brilliant, Thank you.
Having unscrewed the drivers inside door lever and taken it out, I am now having trouble putting it back in!!!
Will it just push in from the front ?? Thanks

Me too!!
 

Hope this fix works as my internal drivers door handle broke today. Great to see all the info as ever :}

Hi colleagues, how do I open the right back door if they can't open from either side? Thank you for the advice.
