Thanks for the reply. So should I just get a multimeter on the cables and test them for power? How difficult would it be to replace a cable going through the b pillar? Cheers. Ade.

Hi all. Here is the story: I have a mk2 Octavia, 56 Reg fsi ambiente 1.6L. The rear drivers side door has not been locking recently so I removed the interior door trim, drilled the rivets out of the panel with the window winder attached, finally managed to replace the locking module with one from eBay (Okzam auto). Tried the lock prior to installing and great it worked. Then installed the lock and it stopped working. I then unplugged and plugged the lock back in and it worked again, But only once. The window will now not work and I'm still without a locking rear door. What do you guys think I should do next? Do you think I purchased a faulty lock? Could I have a wiring fault? How could I check this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Ade

I'll have a look at that then, cheers. Ade

Cheers for the reply, I did actually see this on another post, although was hoping there was a better way. If I can't get hold of a riveter can I just get some self tapping screws to put the panel back on? Cheers. Ade

Hi all. I have read about the door latches failing and it seems that mine has also done this, on a 2007 56 plate Octavia mk2. The rear drivers side door would t lock with the central locking fob or the switch inside. I therefore think I need to get the door latch module out of the door to inspect and either replace or clean the micro switches. What I need to know is do I need to remove the window and all the other components to get at the door latch module. It seems that the panel which has the window winder motor attached and is sealed into the door is also riveted in. How do I remove this to get at the last h module? Cheers in advance for any help!

Cheers for the reply but the inside of this door looks nothing like mine. There's a whole other panel over the window and lock mechanism. Cheers. Ade

I had exactly the same problem and just replaced the aerial with a new one from the dealer! Problem solved! Good luck.
