I have had a look at my door. Would it be possible to cut an opening in the B pillar" the one that the door shuts onto" from the inside of the car and then cut the strap that the locking part locks onto. A plate could then be welded to the hole that you have cut in the pillar and a new locking strap bolted in. Just trying to help. :y

Success got it open without having to do anything drastic. Now to the wanted section for a doorcard and lock. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Can be that the hard-metal "wire" (i don't know what it is his name) jumped out from the locking mechanism ? On my door it was very easy to put away the safety plastic and to remove the "wire".

The 4 connections. key.Lock.push button and opening from inside were all attached. Think it had something to to with spindle wasnt turning.

Too late now but I had the same problem with mine while it was at the garage having the timimg belt done. The mechanic got the door open with minimal damage to the door card.  :o It was just the naff latch that had stuck. Changed it and now keep all the door latches well oiled. :y
