each door has its own chid luck, so check the faulty door child luck as well.

 

I was sort of hoping it might be somthing like this. Do you happen to know where these individual child locks are? I did not see it in the manual.

 

If you open the door there'll be a plastic slot the end of the key goes into below the latch.

 

Is that a black plastic lined hole just below the lower lock bolt beneath the latch in the door? If so, my manual says thats for manual locking of passanger doors & thats is indeed the function it performs. You just pop the key in & it trips a spring loaded button thing inside. After that, close the door & the car can't be opened from the outside.

Maybe there is another function it has that I'm missing? They don't appear to turn or anything. I had a Ford once which had child locks which could be disabled this way, so thats the first thing I looked at.

check where is green arrow pointing, in the green circle.

good luck

 

Thats the one I was looking at. Having played with it a bit, the door appears to be opening OK now some of the time. Every now and again it reverts to not being able to open from inside & I have to put the key in that hole to restore normal operation. I'll play with it some more tomorrow when I won't be annoying the locals.

Strange that there does not appear to be any mention of it in my manual though.

Thanks for the help guys.
