Hi, what year is the van? You replaced the cable for the interior handle? If that has come off or broken again you should still be able to open the door from the outside. If it won't open at all I think the door must be double locked. I posted on here few months ago about some things you can try. Does it sound like it's trying to unlock?

Try a double press if your doors normally all open with a single press.

Good news! Thanks for the reply. Let us know your experiences of the job. Any descriptions of anyone's experiences on any job on a T5 are welcome here, warts and all preferably! No matter if you struggled or even gave up in the end nobody here will beat you up for trying. Anyone that thinks they know all is a fool. Did you use a genuine lock btw or the ebay version? |
