I Can't open the driver's door S40

Post by nate »

Today I returned to my car after school.
The temperatures had cooled down a lot (but not so much as too freeze the locks).

Pressed my alarm remote and none of the doors unlocked. The central locking motor of the driver's door could be heard trying to move the door lock pin but it wouldn't budge.

I tried using the key but that was affected by the jamming. I had to use the passenger door to get in, tried pulling at the pin but its still too damn stiff.
Then tried using the internal door handle but ended up breaking it by using brute force.

Apparantly the problem may be because the connection rods inside the door need adjusting, because that's what happened to my dad's V40.

But I still open the door to get to the screws. Help!
