Hi guys,
not sure if anyone will have an answer for this but here goes, I've had both door lock mechanisms out today and noticed a difference in the workings of the actual mechanisms between drivers and passenger side and wondered if it's actually an issue or normal.
on the drivers lock with the catch fully open this is what the mechanism looks like inside. (were focusing on the black plastic piece in the centre of the picture and the silver piece that is just covering it in the first picture)
this is what the mech looks like with the catch closed to the first click, as you can see the black piece is now free to slide up
and with the catch on the second click, so fully closed it looks like this, again the black piece is free to move
now for the passenger side, first picture catch fully open, black piece is free to move
catch on first click, black bit free to move
catch on second click, fully closed black bit free to move
so my question is should the black bit be able to move with the catch fully open or not? basically is one side broken or are they both meant to be different between nearside and offside? I can't see anything broken or missing from side to side when comparing them to each other
cheers
