Hi all.

 

My jaguar xf 2013 has been sat up for a few months due to having a company van and using my other half's car alot.

 

I got her cleaned up to start using her again and when I come to clean the rear I can't get the drivers rear door open, I think it's deadlocked also, I have took the door panel off to investigate but I can't see any obvious way to get it to open to replace the mechanism.

 

If there is a way or if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

Sam.

Does noone have any idea of where to go with this at all? Any help would be appreciated

 

This may help

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

I understand how to get the mechanism off but sadly my door is deadlocked so I can't get the door open to get to the 3 bolts holding it on, I'm just wondering if there is a way to release the deadlock manually some how, I have had my hands all around the mechanism but can't seem to find any way.

Might not like this answer, but spoke to a friend who said you may need to remove the door to get it fixed. Can access the bolts to do this by opening the front door.

Others may have a better way...

Personally, I would remove the seat base first then remove the door card and then operate the lock manually to open the door.

If that possible sounds like a better option
