I don't think that is the pin but the latch spring

That iis the end of the spring located in the latch. I think the pin refered to is about 35mm further down, you will need to remove the three large screws and lift up the lock body a little, best carefully re read the FIX as it is a year sonce I looked at mine but from memory the pin lies at 90º to the three mount screws and further down.

Ok, cheers for your help.

I will try again tomorrow.

So a year on, did your issue ever come back or was it a permanent fix?

Permanent so far but easily sorted again if it recurs also more or less the same cure for the inner door handle not opening the lock.

it's still sticking out in that pic, it should virtually disappear from view.
Or that pin is the child lock and the pin your looking for is further below that one in the pic, read the fix to confirm.Edited by: mdvineng
