After many months of messing with door i decided to try, again, the key in the door after about 10 tries THE DOOR OPENED!!! So I can finally get door panel off to access and replace the actuator. Thank you to everyone that responded and tried to help me. And to Greydog...I found the lever you were talking about.
Hi Dave
Thanks for the reply, very much appreciate it.
I've done just that and found a few garages relatively local so will start to work through them.
Hopefully it can get resolved now, its been stood a while.
Thanks - Paul
