Default Door will not open/unlock

Drivers door cannot be opened using either inside or outside door catches.
Both of the catches move but do not open door.
Seems quite tricky to fix with unable to open door.
I wondered if anyone who has experience and could fix is in my area. I am near Bromyard, 12 miles from either Hereford or Worcester. Even better, if anybody fancied a trip out to the countryside as I also have a scrap 75, same interior colour, for any bits

******* IN ADDITION****

If locking button depressed, the inside catch will pop it up.
The "Door open" indicator on dash is on.

I guess it probably needs a new lock.

Are the 4 door locks identical?

Yes you will have to get the door card off as it is most likely the white clip that as moved, due to the bar being metal and the clip plastic

At last, We have resolved the problem with door will not open.

It wasn't anything mechanical but the rubber seal surrounding the door had got caught and mashed up in the lock. Needed a lot of brute force to open the door.
Thanks for advice.
