Help! R31 Doors Freaking Me Out!

[Krusty]

Tried the search thing. Hope its OK to post here. Bought the R 31 with a dud front drivers door. Entry had to be from the passenger side and then open the inner latch to get door open. So far so good.

Had the car a couple of weeks and driving it everyday because my motorbike was in the shop. In the Woolies car park and get back to car, passenger door won't open. Nob thing tries to go up with key turn but something stops it and door won't open.

Stinking hot, try for 45 minutes, boot open, jack out, quarter window driver's side smashed to gain entry. Tough glass eh.

Next day off I'll be removing the inner cover to attempt to fix drivers side door, however the passenger door inner latch no longer works so door permanently locked.

So:

Can anyone direct me to a thread anywhere in the world that will assist me to fix drivers door and is there an alternative to a lump hammer and angle grinder and massive freak out to fix the passenger door. I'm not game to replace the quarter window in case I have to smash it again. Car is an 88 GXE 3.0 (Series 2?)

best idea krusty, is to pull the front seat out, then try get the door card off. The rods in the door have more then likely come off or jammed, if they're jammed just try given em a good yank (MAKE SURE U PUT A RAG ON THE DOOR BEHIND WHERE U HAVE YOUR HAND, U WILL GET DEEP CUTS IF U DON"T), if the rods have just come off just go to a wreckers & get some more rod clips. If the locks are jamming up might be an idea to get some 2nd hand door locks @ the same time.

Just ask the wreckers if u can have the full set of locks with the keys...
