Thread: Disco rear door lock

The little spring on the child safety lock will be the culprit.

if it is stuck due to dust i have found that a few taps with a rubber mallet on the door between the handle and latch was enough to free up mine after getting dusted

Is that the piece down the bottom,cos if it is it,s broken,as is the plastic casing meaning a new lock is required.
Can the lock of an early,92/3 disco fit ,as there is a wrecker up here.
Thanx.

What year Disco?
If it's a D2, about 01-02, they become choked with dust. I got into a habit of opening mine up each year and brushing all the mechanism down with petrol then drying off/airing o/night, dusting with graphite.

The big enemy of the system is OIL... the dust sticks to it like **** to a blanket

Thanx to all who answered,unfortunately you were all wrong.......................

It,s put a leg out of bed;the bracket holding the small flap looking thingy down the bottom of the lock has broken.I,m guessing it,s part of the child lock mentioned previously.
Another lock is on it,s way up now.

Cheers all.Simon.

Oh,and the car is for sale as well,I,ll post an add when my son works out how to put photo,s on the site.
