Thanks everyone for your help - I got the door card off & managed to open the door by lifting the plastic off the lock actuator & using my finger to manually operate the latch, changed out the actuator & all good for now. Must have happened...

I had the same issue.If you get in the boot and use a tool to lift the corner of the door card clear of the lip you can remove the whole thing by sliding your finger under the top of the card.To open the door i used another battery and used it to...

Sounds like a broken wire in the loom where it bends for the door. I haven't seen it before but FL1 leccy windows love to fail. It's their favourite mode.

Hi - my 2004 FL1 TD4 drivers door electric window has sometimes been temperamental however it now will only open/close when the door is open - I suspect a dodgy wire but surely it would sometimes fail with the door open if there was something...

4 screws along the bottom edge all nearer to the latch side. You have to feel for them, and they are angled downwards. Once unscrewed pull the bottom of the card until it's free, then lift up and over the hooks on the top of the door.

Thanks for the reply - I’ll try that 👍

Hi all, left the car for a couple of days then needed it to move some stuff, guess what - the tailgate door will not open. Use the handle & the window drops as normal but the door doesn’t open, there is a slight sound like it’s trying to do...

Hi, two things that gave me intermittent MIL light on my TD4 were collapsing intercooler pipe, no splits or anything, looked fine, just collapsing under acceleration but not always & the MAF sensor again not every time I drove it until it failed...

Any updates on this would be great as mine does the same - comes on randomly & goes off randomly, can’t see any fault codes, sometimes will go into limp mode when light comes on & sometimes not
