Buy some clips (both types) as you will need them and some elastoplast!

Items 3 and 4
The "fir tree" clips are for the top right hand on drivers side, top left on passenger side and usually break coming out but are strong enough to resist popping when the door is slammed. Easy to cut from the side with a sharp wood chisel if stubborn.

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

I lost one clip, but as you can see from post I had spares, however as I've taken up with Steve, Im in the situation now where the defective door will NOT unlock, all ideas greatly appreciated!

I Derek.
Open the doors as per usual with fob, climb into the car reach inside the door as you say you have the door card off pic below.
1

Once you have your hand inside push or Pull on the lever with the three yellow dots see if the door opens
2

Is the internal door handle still attached ?

Thanks again Steve, I will go out shortly and attempt to operate said lever. No, interior handle removed along with door card, does that make a difference?
