Good news is it doesn't look like anything is broken.

Bad news is... It's going to be fiddly to get back in!!  

[edit]It definitely doesn't like me.... Tried putting that picture up too and it wouldn't work   [/edit]

No problem .. I'm happy to help ..

Glad you posted this, reminds me that a year on I've still not got hold of a spare key for my car....

This is so frustrating because I could probably fix it for you in a matter of minutes now you have the door card off!!! It's really hard to explain and get perspective!!

I know exactly what it'll look like but it's hard to get it from the pics!!

If you hold the rod in the socket you should be able to see where the wire end belongs by a process of elimination... i.e. where there's a hole for it to go through and it will reach!!

I hope you manage to get it fixed tomorrow afternoon!  

great thank you so much for your help, gonna have a cuppa now, son to school at 12.30 then post office then home have a quick go at it and then ill have to pick him up again.

right, well where do i start?
I have found the locations thanks to your help.
i can get the white plastic thing in the hole, plus a few times have got the small rod onto the red pin thing have moved the handle and a few times the rod moves up the red pin and a few times the white thing pops out its hole.
there is just no room to maneuver its a case of using your fingers not your hands.

(1) i am not sure if i am putting it into the red pin correctly
(2) i am not sure if i am putting the rod into the white thing, does it just rest in there or should it click or something?

i would really like to take out the red pin does it come out and does it come easily if it does?

is it easy to buy one if it breaks?

Lol.....when you insert the rod into the white bush you then need to rotate the bush as it has a plastic clip that locks onto the rod.

You probably need to get the red pin out... It may even be in 2 halves because i would imagine it goes over one on the bends in the rod. If the red pin breaks you can probably still get the rod through the hole you've taken the pin out of and get some tape round it to secure it.

Bear in mind that the rod may well need a little adjustment as it could have been bent slightly!

Glad to see you adding to my advice Mark... I think it's about 7 or 8 years since I had to play inside a Vauxhall door and I've been trying to remember how/where it all goes!

JUST DONE IT !!!!!

[garbage456]

Thank you all so so so so so much, you are stars I have done it !!

basically the red pin, instead of sticking the rod in the right hand side, which i guess is the correct side i just pushed it into the left side, the bit that physically is holding the pin in the hole and it fitted in there.

And its working

my rear view windows even worked for a minute !! now they stopped again seems to be a faulty child lock on the drivers door.

Pleased to hear it's all working again!!

guess what ITS GONE AGAIN.

This time its worse. every time i press the fob to unlock all the doors they relock again, i can open all the doors except the drivers door if i open it fast enough.

but i cant even open the drivers door from inside now.

got the bloke down from SJB, he managed (i dont know how) to get his hand in the door card and open i, took an hour or so but he opened it, put it all back and checked it, plus he can fit it a side wing for £80 + part, considering 2 garages have quoted me £280 and £230 this seems amazingly cheap.
