Help Please - Drivers door handle not working

[3pinplug]

Hi all
Blipped the keyfob and the drivers door unlocked, pulled handle but door won't open. Had to get in passenger side and climb over and use the door lever inside which still opens the door.

Is this another common fault and any ideas with regard to a fix if a common problem, are the doorcards easy to get off?

Thanks

Mark

Had the same issue myself recently.
Before you go stripping the door to pieces, with the door locked, pull the handle out and spray some WD40 in the gap where the linkage comes out.
I did this and seems to have solved the issues.

WoooooooHooooooooooo!!!!

I now have a working drivers door lock without having to pull all the door etc card off.

Thank you very much for the WD40 trick it works a treat.

Have a happy Christmas "BarryG"- all the best!!
