With the door card removed the first thing I could recover was the missing plunger rod, just lying loose in the bottom of the door.
I left the scene for a while to reread the door mechanism fit etc and closed the door and locked the car, I checked that I was able to open the defective door without unlocking the remainder and the alarm sounded so I closed the door again(rear left)and went for a cuppa and a read.
When I came back and unlocked the car ,the defective door would NOT unlock???I could hear the actuator rattling around inside, but the door remains stubbornly locked
So I'm now in the situation with all the necessary parts removed, spares waiting to be fitted,but how do I open the door
