Again I am reaching out for help!
Out of the blue my drivers door wont unlock/lock on the fob, I tried the key and it is very tight to unlock manually, I have remover the handle and the barrel is vree, also if I manually lift the locking rod it seems quite free also, refitted the handle gasket (between the handle and the door skin), bolted it up and it is still really stiff, I also noticed as I turn the key its trying to move the handle up and down, is this handle location that sensitive, I cannot get it in a position to work better, or is it the actuator on the latch, it looks like a complete mare to get out, or more so to get the rods disconnected and refitted.
I have ordered a new latch !
any help will be appreciated.

For anyone's information with the same problem, I bought a salvaged latch on Ebay and replaced it, and it works fine now, examination of the old one shows the actuator rod seized solid, so i was forcing it open on the key, Not a good idea!!

Glad you got it resolved Paul.
Take care.
