there is another reason for this which i have just had. The door (drivers in my case )wont open unless you jiggle and yank on the handle hard several timesthe inside mechanism works perfectly
What I did was break the door lock down into 3 parts
1 the locking mechanism itself
2 the internal mechanism
3 the external mechanism
my thinking was that 2 + are both attatched to 1 there for in my case 1 + 2 worked there was a fault with 3
As part of the external locking system there is a plastic rod with a spring round it which pushes on a lever which in turn pulls a metal rod to undo the lock that final rod is threaded so all i had to do was disconect it spin it in 5 or so turns and reconnect. Works perfectly.
I must say it is a very fiddly job too
all fine since, and no more looking a cock when trying to open the door for the misses while the misses is trying the door while in town now
makes sense to why mine is now doing it, the amount of poop in there
