i finally decided to pull the door card off and inspect why my door has been unlocking on the central locking but not locking. the answer turned out to be what i thought itt would be a worn accutator or on its way out anyways, unlocking it was snap and sharp but on the locking it was slow and didnt fully engage the lock. so jeff will be getting a call tomorrow so i cabn replace it asap, however, in the process of fighting the bugger out what a faff seriously, ive forgotten how all the little joining rods came apart ive done some but still have two floating around that i cant rember what they were for. i cant manually lock the door now (no biggy the car is in my garage)so i assume that one sof the detached ones. and the other is the upper long one of the two that sit on the outside of the door. so can anyone point me in the right direction of a diagram or picture of how the hell they are put together? cheers in advance.

here you go

rightttt lol cheers gaz, i didnt see this in time due to the issues with the forum last night, fortunatly the new one turned up at work today and i sat there with a cuppa and pushed teh levers till i figured out how the thing worked, took it home and put it together lol.

for future referance though if anyoen else gets themself in a tiz, there coloured for a reason :)

the green two relate to the interior handle, you will quickly see which goes where.

the blue one goes to the exterior door handle and the remaining white one connects upto the key barrel.

the brass coloured bar near it, if you undo the bolt the whole process is 100xs easier :)
