Hi all,

my passenger side door decided to stop opening from the outside just as I dropped it off for an MOT…needless to say I couldn’t proceed with the MOT and I’ve taken it back home and opened up the passenger side to see what the issue could be!

I’ve noticed the mechanism lock isn’t moving which is why the door isnt opening. However, i can’t work out what the issue could be? Does the bowden cable need replacing, or simply taken out and realigned? Is the door mechanism faulty?

Here is a video of the bowden cable not hitting the lock: 28 December 2022

here is a video on YouTube of how it should look:

faulty?
