FML again... I was locked out of me levin at xmas and now the drivers door of my ps13 is stuck.
Basically I can get in the passenger side no problem, I have the key for it.
However the drivers door won't open.
I can fire off the central locking but that won't open it. I decided there to take off the door card but because it's locked shut I can't get to a certain screw now.
To take off the s13 doorcard you have to do 3 things:
1.) remove door handle cover
2.) remove the electric window and central locking piece (in line with your elbow)
3.) remove a screw up beside the dash (when the door is closed you can't get at it)
The only thing I can see now is to get somebody to use a slim jim and hit the rod that opens the door. The bar must of popped off the last time the door was closed.
2 lads were up looking at it one night cause it's for sale and the next thing we know we couldn't open it again, not their fault cause nobody slammed it.
The key turns fully left and right and I just oiled it up there but it seems to be working ok.
The rod connected to the handle is intact and and when I pull the handle you can hear the rod by the door lock pulling at something. Thats why I'm thinking even if I did get a slim jim it wouldn't even open it now...strange.
Any help as usual is greatly appreciated.
