T367KHL petrol manual 2 litre Omega saloon
This car passed its MOT test 2 weeks ago. Son Jonny took it away. Now complains he cannot open front passenger door. His wife has to enter through driver's door and clamber over central console. Door does not open on central locking, he cannot pull up the latch.
How do I cure this?

Wrap a cloth around doorpin, decent pliers or molegrips and pull pin up. Probably easier with window down and do it from outside.

Mine does this every now and again. Takes a couple of goes to free it up but does work. Usually have to reach over the centre console and give it a few yanks.
If it's the same as me then you need to work it up and down a couple of times and it'll free itself.

Then when you have the door open,remove door card and lubricate everthing with a good spray grease and work pin up and down a few times.

Thanks for the advice. MY son (20 miles away) has got the door open now following your advice. I have instructed him not to lock it again until he comes here Tuesday, when I will remove door card and spray with grease.
