After driving the 318is today the drivers door wouldn't open from the inside. I thought it was just the linkage that had come loose but when I tried the outside handle the door won't open either.
I was able to remove the door card and get my hand in to the lever on the latch itself but when I move it nothing seems to be happening.
So the door is stuck closed with what seems to be a broken latch, and to undo the bolts to replace the latch the door needs to be open.
Doe's anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Any help would be appreciated, I don't mind having to buy a new latch but I'd prefer not to have to go the extreme of breaking apart the old one while it's still inside the door to remove it
