Well RinTinTin, thanks for the valuable advice. How often do these locks fail I wonder? After owning about 50 cars in my life, this one is a newy on me.
Actually, thank you for your detailed description of what I have in front of me. I don't know if I have the enthusiasm or the energy to tackle this formidable task. Maybe just buy a whole new door from the wreckers? Or trade the car in and get a newer one!
Are the so called Renault 'dealers' able to do this I wonder. From past experience I would say certainly not. An auto electrician perhaps?
And then, I expect that a replacement lock will cost a fortune?
By the way, I have the workshop manual but as usual it is all over the place.
To have one coherent step-by-step section titled: "How to dismantle the front door" would be much too easy.
What a bummer!
