D2 Rear Door Won't Open
« on: April 01, 2010, 19:08:10 »
Hi All,

The rear door on my D2 is playing up. Central locking works, but rear door won't open from inside or outside. I removed the trim panel inside and managed to open it by tugging the mechanism. Sprayed it liberally with WD40 and all was well for a while - but now it's playing up again :(

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Nick

Prize out your green oval from the cover over the numberplate and spray WD40 or similar into the holes behind it, I  know it sounds a bit stupid but it worked on mine  :dance:  :D
