Happy New Year! Still got a few hours to go in Scotland til 2010 so I thought I'd post this before. I don't expect any answers for a while lol.
I've stripped down the door, thanks for the tips. Disconnected the rods and the interior handle. Removed the metal parts the rods run through. Taken the three screws on the side of the door to release the lock. Unclipped the window runner and got it out of the way. But the lock still won't come out of the door. Mainly because of the big rusty piece inside the door which seems to cover the part of the lock connecting to the barrel. Haynes manual has no mention of this. Before I go attempting to remove this thing, any ideas? Here is a pic of the rusty thing, lol. Ta for any help.
