My passenger door has stopped opening from the outside!

You push the button but the door no longer releases!

Still works with the inner door release and central locking still unlocks it.....any thoughts???

Try asking Ali, his got replaced under warranty IIRC.

Get it fixed before the inside stops working too it's probably just the rod needing re attached or adjusted. If it stops working you either need to remove the door pannel or the gorillas rip the door to bits with non technical instruments

Turn the key?

Nah, on mine the barrell was jamming hence you could open the door but not close it!

Sounds like the mechanism from the barrell to latch - try taking off the reflector (on the end of the door) and have a swatch...

Cheers,

MY drivers side on the Exige failed within a month in the same manner - they replaced the release mechanism. Remove the door panel and it should be pretty obvious what's wrong. As you are out of warranty it might make sense to try and repair the old mechanism rather than buying a whole new one!

Ah - no I just re-read your post - mine was the opposite - the inside handle didn't work while the outside button did ... how hard can it be <sigh> ...

Cheers,
Robin

sounds like it could just be the rod it connects to!

Might have a look at it at KH once i've melted my tyres
