    While charging around the South of France on my Hols (why do these things
    always happen on Holiday?)...the rear passenger door would not open, the
    visible button that shows its locked has stayed down, the handle on the
    inside has become disconnecetd and the handle on the outside feels
    disconnected as well,......so something inside the door has failed.....Are
    there any 'tricks of the trade' to get this door open so I can sort the
    problem??
    Is it possible to remove the door trim from inside the car with the door
    closed, so I can prod around with a screwdriver to release the door
    mechanism?

    thanks.....ttfn.....Alistair

    Hi, It sounds as if the motor in the lock has jammed.

    Look at http://www.southwalesvolvos.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1422 to see how I fixed mine on my 97
    V70R

    Hope it helps.
