98 D1 300tdi ES ("link" in below sig) has random failure of front passenger door to open by either inside or outside handle , intermittent fault , cured by jiggling lock pin up and down .
Now I know this has been discussed a lot before and I have read a bunch including the "how to" (good work , Lerk!) but as I explained in my last post I am stretched for time and the new MOT requires that all doors must open and close properly ...and you can bet that the test will be the time it chooses not to work . Plus this is the only vehicle of mine on the road at present .
So , before I start , does this sound like the common spring problem ? If it was a straight fail to work I would be convinced it was but since its so off and on I have doubts .
Does anyone have any experience of this one ? Short of telling me to just open it up ? I need all the help I can get just now due to family emergencies and anything that saves me time is a godsend . Funny thing is that I have had this problem twice before in D1s and always the passenger door .
Thanks all
