disco tony Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi all, in Wales at the mo, did Strata today, (another story), but back at campsite, I cant open the boot door. One of the kids unlocked it with a key earlier now it wont open by key or fob. Central locking is working but door seems to have gone out of sync. (handle inside or out wont operate mechanism). Is there a trick to this as swmbo will want to get out soon!! On a dongled laptop so help urgent please!!! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTdarren Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 hi mate , if you locked it with the key you must unlock it with the key and vis versa,try a bty disconnect and try again. hope this helps. or has the handle just got stuck ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Possibly the latch spring got broken. Have someone keep the locking tab pulled up from the inside while you unlock with the key from outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If the handle wont operate the door, try prying the landrover badge out of the handle and poke it from the hole with a screwdriver - always works on mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 disco handles are renound for getting stuck, if so WD 40 and a screwdriver frees it up, then keep working it till it works smooth again JOB'S A FISH mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco tony Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 thanks Darren, havent tried battery trick as its a bit late now. Dont think its handle as it wont open from inside either. Seems like mechanism then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discomikey Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ORRRRR, assuming its an older disco, have her climb out through one of the many large holes in the boot floor lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 thanks Darren, havent tried battery trick as its a bit late now. Dont think its handle as it wont open from inside either. Seems like mechanism then? If the exterior handle is stuck the internal one doesn't work either IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
