   Hi all,
   
   Wondering if there is a quick and easy way of removing the locking mechanism as need to replace it with a new one.
   
   Have removed the doorcard, undone the 3 torx screws but cannot get the mech out.
   
   Is there a guide or a simple explanation on how to do this?
   
   Thanks

   there is a bung in the side of the door, pull that out and screw a medium sized screw in there and it should pop out its in the haynes manual but its what my dad done, im pretty sure thats how he did it for me any way hopefully some one can back this up as well

   Must admit, I did wonder what it was for!
   
   Can anyone confirm this?
