Today my passenger door won't open from the outside - it will open from the inside - when I unlock it with either the key fob or the door button it still won't open from the outside - pain in the backside - any advice would be appreciated

Hi Roy - pretty sure it's a common fault I'm afraid. Likely to need a new latch and cable to stop the problem coming back again any time soon.

I thought that James - thought about taking the door card off myself and then thought better of it

 

[James]

What's the plan then are you putting into a garage/dealer?

[Saxabay]

Hi James - strange thing - door started opening from the outside yesterday ?? Strange

[James]

Odd - I guess it could be an intermittent fault? Are you going to wait to see if it happens again or just get it booked in?

[Saxabay]

I think your right James - won't open again - must be something electrical - booking it in in Jan to get the timing belt and water pump done so I'll get them to have a look at it then

[James]

Yep, probably worth getting that sorted. Bit of an irritating fault to have really. I assume you're having to lean across and open for the meantime?

Timing belt done £ 299 water pump didn't need done - door lock update - garage checked it and said it was fine - not done it since my last post - seams ok now - think I need to change tha headlight bulbs ( think there H7's ) any recommendations -? could do to be a lot brighter

If you want to stick with halogen then something like osram nightbreaker plus are quite good. You could do a xenon upgrade kit but a bit of a grey area legally so depends if you want to go down that route.
