Refitting
7 Refitting is the reverse sequence to
removal, bearing in mind the following points:
a) Ensure that the small link rod on the lock
assembly is engaged with the operating
link of the exterior door handle.
b) If problems are experienced with the
operation of the lock, it is likely that the
inner remote control handle assembly is
incorrectly positioned. If the door fails to
lock, loosen the three retaining screws,
and move the remote control handle
assembly forwards to correct the
operation. If the door fails to unlock, move
the assembly rearwards.

10 Refitting is the reverse sequence to
removal. On the earlier type door handle the
push button plunger incorporates an
adjustable nylon cap over the plunger. The
adjustment of this cap is set during
manufacture, but if necessary it can be
screwed in or out slightly to give 1.0 to 1.5
mm of free play before contacting the door
lock release lever (see illustration).
