D2 Front Door Won't Open from Inside

**Redback** · 6th October 2009, 07:48 AM

It has gradually been getting worse and now is becoming alot harder to open, has anyone had this problem and can it be fixed easely.

It opens fine from the outside, just not the inside

I'm assuming it will be something worn on the arm of the inside door latch handle.

I haven't experienced your specific case but my outside handle on a rear door of my RRC did the same. You will find that the rod connecting the handle to the lock has a threaded adjustment. My guess is that when these are adjusted new, sometimes the adjustment is Juuuust enough to work and over time with a bit of wear the handle doesn't transmit enough movement to open the lock. The fix with mine was to open up the door and just screw the thread one or two turns. Regards Philip A

My POS front passenger door also has the same prob. It was dust ingress. A day or more of dirt and the rear and front passenger door would play up
