Australia Driver door will not open from inside or outside

Can anyone help me I have a 2006 mini my driver door will not open. First it opened from the inside only but now I canny open the door at all so am having climb through the passenger door to get in my car.

The locking mechanism seems to be fine. One my friends was going to take a look at this for me but as the door won't open he cannot take the trim off to see the cables.

It seems like you have to remove the door trim with the door closed, dont think it will be a big problem on a Mini. Just push the driver seat back all the way and loosen the 3 bolts on the door trim and pull it off.

You have to remove Nr. 12 to find the third bolt

I think your problem is mechanical so see where the wires go and check if its connected and so on

Check Nr 10
