How to remove casing of door (handle doesn't work on outside)

[rooney1000]

Hi

It seems the door handle on my 2023 Adria Sava has stopped working !

It is fine from the inside and the key and lock works fine, it is just that when you try and open the door from the outside it doesn't engage the latch and move it back, so can't open the door!

Sent kid in through the under bed cupboard to open door from inside so am inside now but trying to work out if there is anything I can do to fix it.

Searched the web, can't see much about how to remove the panel and actually get to anything - anyone got the same lock and panel and know how to do it ?

If not then assume I need dealer to replace / fix lock (not in warranty but due a service soon)..

Thanks

On the top pic, there is a small grommet in the centre of the round section of the inner lock handle, ping it out and there is a screw under, take that out and the dismantle work is easy from there.
Once the inner is removed, you can take the outside part off, try giving it all a spray of plusgas first tho.

Thanks. All sorted, took apart and added a small bolt where a lug had snapped off stopping the mechanism working.
