Door doesn't unlock properly

(1/3) > >>

gords:
The drivers door and nearside rear door have both started playing up - when I unlock using the alarm fob, the lock/catch/thingy doesn't come fully up and the door won't open.

I seem to remember this being a common problem, but I can't remember the solution :roll:

Budgie:
Door lock springs or the central locking actuator.
I'd go for the later.  :wink:

Why would you say it's the latter?

Budgie:
Cos the same happended to the Rangie and it was either weak or duff actuators. Ended up replacing most of them in the end.  :roll:

The springs are cheaper but I don't know what they are like to fit as I've never done them.
There may be other reasons that I've not come across so maybe wait till others have had their input.  :wink:

beast5680:
well i would say the former :D  my brother had exactly that fault gordon and replaced the lock springs and fixed it, bearing in mind he,s not that mechanically inclined it cant have been that difficult :lol:
