Hi all

Recent picked up my first mini, a 2001 cooper, however have a strange problem with the central locking. On the passenger side the door will lock with the remote but will not open, I have to use the interior door handle to open the door. I have also tried the switch inside the car but again will lock but not open. Has anyone had a similar problem?? Cheers

I've been having this problem with my drivers door. I searched on mini2 and found it reported to be with the door lock mechanism.
So I ordered a new one for £56 and spent an evening fitting it. Needed to remove the door card and
glass to get at it. Problems gone and the door locks and unlocks properly.

Thanks, is it difficult to fix I have had the door card off already, are there are instructions on here on how to replace it?
