you are right they are cables that attached to the latch and handle.

Don't know part number but have attached a helpful link to show how to get to cable in my DIY guide.

My problem was I had done all the steps to remove door card as you pointed out, but the door card would not realease from the top of the door(where the window is)

Nearly broke the bloody thing trying

I take it that you disconnected the cable form the door panel and you made sure all screws were out. Also the door card can be tight at the door pin area and you need to tap it upwards from the bottom of the door card.

Does this look correct for the interior door latch cable???

Yes I removed all screws as per yours and the Haynes manual instructions, was just a tight bugger, can you not do thus with window completely down

Yes for the interior cable, looks right to me...

You can't do it with window down if you want to replace door lock mechanism, but if you are just replacing interior cable you might be able to, but fiddly

I'm just trying to think of ways to make it easier to get door card off as mine stick hard in.

As for the link I sent wrong page but I agree seems to be same part

top of the card folds with a lip into a channel, you need to try lifting the card up fom the bottom, can need a bit of force with a few careful jolts upwards on occasion

When I did that it bent and I don't want to need a new one, could dropping the window and manipulating the rubbers help loosen them? I have re bbuilt the door card as waiting on cable

Fixed now guys. Was a ball ache and never want to see another door latch again ever!!!
