Mine had been getting increasingly stiff (oooer! ) to open , particularly from the outside, to the stage that you needed to use 2 hands sometimes. I removed the whole assmbly from the door, 3 torx on the side of the door and the various linkages from the inside & outside handle & lock, and blasted anywhere & everwhere with a ptfe lub. It now opens very easily from both inside & outside.
Getting my hands in the small opening to remove the lock was the hardest part of the job.

thought we established it was the switch pack?

I'll stand corrected, seeing as I have had much Stella since then...

Errr thought it was the motor? I would have prefered the switch pack!

I seamed to remember we took the door card off and measured the volts on the motor. It seamed to point to that...

Reason I thought it was switchpack was because I suggested doing to scrappy and getting one off that facelift, but it had gone by then?  As said, I may be mistaken....

Might be worth rechecking...

I was on TBs drive when we were investigating this - and it pointed to the switch rather than the motor

Try the switch from your Dad's 2.2?

Failing that, the motor is an easy, if not a bit fiddly, job. I will gladly help you

Its so long since i worked on it, i faintly remember taking my dads door card to bits and swapping the switches over... with no luck.

i am 90% sure its the motor thats gone.
