You can open the door from the outside, remove door panel, engage hook to lock mechanism, reassemble door panel. DONE.

I did that a couple weeks ago.

Oh yeah, about my rear door panel, I forgot to mention that my central locking is down, so I have to wait for it to be fixed and then do the door

btw I've made this thread called "central locking", so if any1 know anything about it, please go there and help me out a bit, it's ******* frustrating not to really know what to do with it. Cheers.

Imagine my surprise last month when I learned the same thing about an expensive *** battery (for such a tiny car).
