Swift Voyager Motorhome 08 door

[Stoat60]

Hi new to forum
The habitation door on my Swift voyager won’t open from the outside, no problem from inside and the central locking works. I assume a linkage or similar has broken. I will need to take off the door skin to get at the mechanism, does anyone have any diagrams etc of the mech or advice on removing the door skin.
I’ve enclosed a pic of the door.
Regards
Ian

Just realised that the Swift Voyager is a motorhome and not a caravan. You may be better off scrolling down under "Forums" to the motorhome discussions and posing the question there?

Oh! Sorry about that I thought I was in the Motorhome section, I’ll have another go.
cheers

The Motorhomes section is not obvious, as Buckman states Click on ,"Forums" then scroll down until you get to Motorhomes on the main page, good luck.

Hi Hutch
I’ve done that but my question does seem to appear in the motor home discussion section, I’ve attached a screenshot let me know if I’m in the correct place.

It's in the right place - Forums > Motorhome Discussions > Tech

Yes it's in the correct place, just shows we all have a common interest then.

Hi I’ve managed to get the door skin off and it looks like the handle on the lock mechanism is worn. Would anyone know where I could get a new one? With it being an 08 van
I’ve tried Brownhills but they haven’t got one.

You could try an online breakers Ian.
O'Leary Motorhomes might be worth checking.

Thanks Parksy I’ll give them a try Monday. Id rather have it before I take the mechanism off pop rivets etc.

You're welcome Ian.
If they don't have the part, they might know somebody who does.

Hi All
Just an update, I couldn’t get a lock anywhere.
In the end dismantled the mechanism and had to drill pin and glue the lever that had cracked. It was a very messy and intricate job, I think the repair shop would have struggled. Anyway all good now better than before as all the parts are clean and lubed.
Mig anyone knows or comes across the lock I would still be interested for the future just in case it goes again.
thanks
