Any advice unable to open my drivers door from the outside or inside. Appears to be deadlocked if that makes sense. Using the key in the lock does not work either. Any advice would be appreciated as I need it for work tomorrow.

Possibly linkage come apart inside the door.If so I would imagine you will have to wreck the doorcard to get it off and get at the problem.
Take other advice and opinions before doing that though.

Will do

Have you tried turning the key so far that you think it might snap? Doesn't always pop the button up though

Pin does go up and down when turning the key. but noticed can only turn key once as opposed to used to be able to lock it the do it again to deadlock it.

That does sounds like the linkage rather than the usual solenoid issue

Have managed to rip the doorcard away. Still unable to open door any further device nothing seems to have come away with regards to mechamism. pulling lever from inside and trying from ourside still no result.

Is the seatbelt shut in the door thinking out loud, but if you push the door more shut then try and open it from the outside in the same way that the bonnetlatch sticks...

No unfortunately nothing jammed. Just dont know how to get mechanism released.

Can you get to where the inner handle connects to the top of the lock mechanism does that feel intact

Worst case tap out the hinge pins from the rear door, un plug and remove carefully. This might give a bit of space to get a lever into the latch to free it off.

If no joy then, then front wing off and tap out the front pins, then lever off. Last resort though as you will need a new door

The suggestions seem a bit drastic surely with the card off you must be able to get to the lock mechanism even if you have to smash it to get the door open, then replace lock from breakers.

Sounds like the latch is jammed then. Have you tried kicking the door open whilst pulling the inside handle

The only way to change the lock mechanism is with the door open might be prudent to try and source a door locally before getting stuck in... can easily be swapped for one the correct colour/condition later

If you can't get to the mechanism you can't break it up without destroying the door any way

The locks are sheilded, and the casings are pressed steel... removing the exterior handle might improve access, but I don't know if that can be removed with the door shut

Tried everything still cant get it opened.

Still no Joy. Anyone any other ideas?
