Please can someome tell me how to remove the door lock from the bloody door!

I tried to replace the door lock mechanism but couldn't get it out from the door.

I undid everything to get it out but it wouldn't come out of the little space there is on the door.

Do you need to that the window mechanism out to get the door lock out so i can replace it?

TIA

I did a search on here for "Octavia 1 door lock removal" and found this:

The pictures should provide all you need. It shows how to handle the window problem too; courtesy of Bowders1.

Hey the search is your friend,

No you don't need to take window mech out. If it is just the external lock easy peasy. As long as you reminder to loosen the torx screws on the side of the door and unclip the small cable that is attached from the interior lock mech to the exterior handle.

I got this guide posted on the techical section. First part covers what you need. No need to tape up window in your case if only removing exterior lock..
