I've put a deposit down on a transit, and the guy knocked me £50 off as the side door wouldn't open. What is the cure for this problem, and is £50 enough to fix it?

 

they tend to get shit stuck in the track ,also the handles break due to lack of use and the lock seizing ,my mate just got his side door opened the other day ,hasnt opened in 6 years .was full of screws nails and all types of shit lol

 

Anyone else?

 

Possibly snapped the cable between the pull and lock mech.you may find it's not closing right so somebody shut it and tried leaving it like that,won't be nothing major though.

 

try taking off the door card,have a fiddle with mecanism may be able to free it ....

 

Ok, bought the van today, took the door card off and noticed the lock wasn't making a noise when the other locks were working. Turns out it was the usual ford dirty contact problem. Cleaned up and all sorted! Well worth getting £50 knocked off! Pmsl!

 

Good stuff mate had same prob with mine

 

Its quite a rare swb rwd with the 125 engine, drives well for its 248,000 miles.. It has an oil leak from somewhere round the waterpump though. I can't suss it out.

there is noise coming from the lock inside the side door but its not locking or unlocking
i can unlock and unlock but not with the remote,only by useing the kiddy lock
