Hi all, have just joined the forums and I have abit of a door locking problem. The front nearside passenger door on my 1998 P38 DSE has locked in the "superlocked" position! The other doors lock and unlock fine with the keyfob and key but there is no movement at all from the N/S/F passenger door.
Also, since this lock has packed up,the internal locking system, IE, push down the locking button on the drivers door when inside and it locks all doors, has packed up aswell! If I push the button down it only locks the drivers door!
Now the scary bit.......took the car to my local 4x4 specialist who said the F/N/P door lock has siezed and the only way to fix it is to "PRISE THE DOOR OPEN THEN SMASH THE LOCK OFF"!!!!!
PRISE THE DOOR OPEN!!!!...how? Crowbar? Smash the lock off!!
Not happy with that, I took it to a LR main dealer who unbelievably said the same!
I cant believe that that is the only way to address this problem so I wondered if anyone from here has had the same fault and how it was dealt with.
Many thanks in advance.
Rick.
