Newbie, Xantia Door Lock Questions

[busastars]

Hi all, just another newbie hear.

 

Sorry my first post is a problem one but I do need help.

 

I have a Xantia Estate 1.9 td pre facelift 95 modle with centrol locking.

 

The rear drivers side passanger door does not open from eather inside or outside. I have managed to pull the door pannel away slightly and been looking at the leavers, all seam to be attached and working. I have been looking to open the door but cannot find out how.

 

I had been told by someone that to do this would require me to get a bar or chissel down through and smash the selonoid till I can get to a leaver to open the door. If this work ok but is there any other advice on this please?

 

Also Citroen have lots of different part numbers for a new selonoid and carnt tell me what is the difference between them, they are realy expensive through Citroen and would meybe like to get one second hand.

The question is what are the differences between all the door mec's/selonoid, and will one off a non estate work are they all interchange'able.

 

What breakers do people hear use?

 

Thanks all, sorry for all the questions. :blink:

Hi,

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd add to this one since I've got a similar problem.

I just got home from work this evening and pulled the handle to open the drivers door and... nothing. I had to get out the passenger side. The door opens OK from the outside but not the inside.

 

Does anyone know how to remove the door panel and what to look for once it's removed?

 

Thanks.
