As I said previously I have taken out the passenger side mechanism which was suggested in other threads!

Neither door has plastic covers on lock mechanism nor plastinner membrane fitted so suspect previous problem with lock or locks. As membrane missing on both doors the airbag system is also compromised, without taking car apart before buying one cannot see the hidden problems!

There isn't any plastic cover on the mechanism fitted to my door, suspect that was removed by previous owner who may have also had this happen but somehow managed to get it open

I have been staring at & examining how it works almost daily for past few weeks, applying lubricants, pulling inside & outside handles, nothing has moved this door towards reopening! Thanks for your suggestions, as I said previously have read other threads on similar problems.

I have looked at the mechanism in the driver's door of another omega of same age to see how it works & can see nothing different or out of position stopping it from opening. It was working fine then came back to car in a car park & it wouldn't open, hasn't since despite trying several ways to get to the catch on the pillar which isn't releasing. Have applied various lubricants hoping it would free up whatever needs to.

Yes have been trying to get one from sellers in Europe however even paying ridiculous shipping fees for a small part earliest they can deliver is late December!
Have search going through a partfinder site with quotes coming in from £135 - £175 + delivery & vat!
Without transport, MoT already expired, I can't scout around scrappies myself to find one, have been told a Corsa or Saab of same age may use same part.

Hello all & thanks to those who have given us such useful guides which I have used from time to time.

I am in need of a complete working driver's door lock mechanism for a 52 plate car. Its not the solenoid that is the problem as all 4 buttons pop by using key or fob. The driver's door has gone into deadlock mode & refuses to open! I have to get this open to pass the MoT. I've managed to get some access to inside of the door by removing some of the door card fixing screws & moving it away from door as much as possible. It appears that there may have been some problems with this door previously as the plastic membrane looks to be completely missing. I bought this car last November just after its last MoT, first thing I had to do on it was change cam belt & water pump as seller didn't know when belt was last changed.
