My 63 plate F-type drivers door is permanently locked. When I use the remote to open the door it goes through the motions and the handle pops out but cannot open the door from the outside nor the inside. The door lock/unlock button red light on the door panel is permanently on red under the locked symbol. When I pull on the outer and inner handles there is no resistance.
The passenger door is fine.
I would appreciate some advice please
Thanks

Hello Joe
Thank you very much for this information. It was actually the mechanics at the garage that repaired the car that told us that the car had a start up choke. I will take your advice and thanks again

Dear Forum
I own a 63 plate F- type. It’s the 3.0litre R model and has done around 15000 miles.
Recently it broke down. Breakdown called and said cylinder 4 was misfiring. I have a 3 year warranty with MotorEasy. Big mistake on my part.
it was taken to one of their recommended garages, who were fine. They diagnosed a faulty fuel injector which in turn had damaged the heat pack and the spark plug for that cylinder. Cost £1400. On the morning the car was being recovered it started OK and no misfire.
after a couple of days had passed I spoke to MotorEasy who said that because the car started when cold and only started to misfire as the engine warmed up that the injector was ‘faulty’ and was therefore a maintenance issue and not covered by the warranty but if the car had misfired on cold it would have meant that the injector had ‘failed’ and that the warranty would then have been honoured. They will not listen to reason.
The garage told me that when starting the car a choke initially delivers the petrol then the injector kicks in when the engine warms up. Motoreasy are insisting that is not the case bearing in mind they are an insurance company.
i have told them I have checked with Jaguar direct just to confirm that the injector cannot be maintained, it either works or it doesn’t. Jaguar of course confirmed that but MotorEasy sent a reply about Jaguar dealerships that was shocking. Unfortunately I cannot use to copy it on this forum for legal reasons
Any thoughts or advice would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks
John
