Locked and won't open!!!

Ok so I know there are many threads on this but I cant seem to find an answer.
My drivers door is locked and I cannot get it open no mater what I do. I have to climb over from passenger side Sad
So if the door lock is faulty as im guessing it is, how do i get the door open to get to change it? Banging Head
Is it going to be a dealer thing? car not in warranty and my local dealer is crap.
Any ideas?

cheers

You will need to pull the interior door lock open on the drivers door while at the same time either pressing the unlock button on the dash or unlocking via the remote.

Thumbs Up

It worked on my 55 plate D3 and the dealer replaced the lock the next day. The same problem happened to each door lock over a period of approx 18 months Rolling Eyes

There aint a lot to get at once door card removed but i lubricated the pull cable and inside the lock. worked it back and forth a few times and now all seems fine now. Wink
Will see how it goes over the next few weeks, may search ebay for a new lock at some point

If all else fails there is the master un/lock that occurs when you press and hold both the internal lock and unlock buttons on the panel. This should unlock all doors for you.
