My car a renault 4 Gtl LHD 1991 model needs a left hand door handle/lock (in the short term) and replacement left hand front driver door (in the long term). My garage is reluctant to give me a MOT Certificate as he said in the event of an accident you cannot open the door (the lock has sunk inside and I gain access by opening window and opening the door from the inside). A friend attempted to look at the lock but says something is missing/broken in the lock and now the door is lockless as he did not put it back!! Oh dear!! Please help.........
 
Door lock

for mot here are details. method of inspection,doors 1,each door latches securely in the closed postion 2, both front doors can be opened from both inside and out reason for rejection 1 front doors not latched securely inclosed postion 2 drivers or passengers door cannot be opened from both inside or outside the vechile USING THE RELEVANT CONTROL IN EACH CASE eg take the door handel off and remove the sliding window before you go to the retest and then you can say to the tester that you put your hand throughthe open window to open the door from the outside so that is theRELEVANT CONTROL sorted then that gets you your mot and all the tester has to do is advise you about your means of door opening giving you more time to sort yyour lock out ,hope this helps mike .;)
 
That's interesting and good advice. I will try that tomorrow when I go back to the garage..... And as you rightly say it will buy me more time in which to source a door handle/lock. THANK YOU JASPER94
