I was helping my neighbour with his MG, the drivers door key wouldn't unlock the door so we took the door top trim off and I fashioned an old copper pipe flat, pushed it down the gap in door and window and pushed the little latch down and it opened (honest officer, I wasn't jimmying it open); turns out the little plastic collar between lock rod and latch from key barrel was loose and had slid down the rod, so I pushed it back up and in to the hole in barrel latch meaning could open with key again.

Trouble is there doesn't seem to be any mechanical latch on the passenger side, when the electric key fob thing is operated you can hear a click from drivers door but nothing happens. I'm assuming that both key movement on drivers door and the fob should kick both doors locks up, driven from the drivers side master solenoid. There is no mechanical key lock on the passenger side.

Any other way of opening the passenger door? I'm wondering if the key fob is knackered as he has to pull the cover off it and press the little buttons on the circuit board to make it work, however as I mentioned if the movement of key is not activating master solenoid then it's bloomin well stuck shut.

Just fixed my jammed driver's door lock after reading all the earlier posts on the old web-site.  ( Omega 2.6 V6 Elite saloon ) Answer was :

Insert RCL key into the lock and trigger LOCK twice, then trigger UNLOCK, then turn the key HARD to the open position - lock unlocks - MAGIC   !
