OK so here it is my new disco had it 6 days and done something or other every day so far lol
my plan is to learn all i can about this thing and get it all sorted as best possible. now today i decided to go give the door lock springs a go and it went interestingly but i have come up with some other problems lock related im hoping someone can help with.
so here's what i did and where i got stuck.
changed the read driver side door lock spring - it now works manually when using the fob it will try to open but not lift all the way and it wont even try and lock. also when its opened manually its still a lot harder than it should be to open the door from the outside
then i done the back passenger door after almost destroying bits of my hand on the other side this went quick and smooth and im pleased to say the door now opens and closes with ease inside and out and also locks and unlocks with the fob or manually.
then i moved onto the front passenger door and this is where i hit my problems.after removing the linkages (i think i had them all) i unbolted the lock and couldn't get it to move at all, that's when i looked closer and found this
anyone got any suggestions on dealing with this can i just give it a clout with a hammer or do i need to remove all the window workings first.
open to all advice and also interested in learning what things i should be checking first and for what, how all that sort of thing haha as i said im willing to learn and so far its a daily thing
