58 C5 rear door will not open from inside
Hi, a recurring issue has resurfaced with my 58 C5. The passenger side rear door will not open from the inside, although it can still be opened from the outside. I had this looked at a couple of months ago and it was fixed (something about a loose bolt). It was fine for a while, then randomly locked again. Managed to sort it by activating the child locks, then deactivating them, but tonight I have noticed it is happening again, and this time I cannot sort it. Is there anything worth trying before resorting to phoning the garage (which I would like to avoid as, although it is still under warranty, is a bit of a pain for something like this)?

If its still under warranty then do not touch it, ANY excuse and Citroen will kill their cover on EVERYTHING faster than a rabbit beds his girlfriend !

Thats a fair point! I have managed to clear the issue by activating and deactivating the child locks a few more times, but if it happens again, I will just phone the garage!

If it's a 58 plate, it surely won't be a manufacturers warranty? If the supplying garage provided a warranty, you need to have a close look at what is covered.
