:argh:

I snapped the inside door latch yesterday morning :argh:

Unable to use the Mini for 2 days during the last cold spell couple of week ago because of the door not able to shut and lock. Anyway forward to the present cold spell and the door lock seems to be working fine.

Parked up in the office car park yesterday morning and unable to open the door from the inside with the door latch being forzen solid. Was thinking, ok, put the window down and open from the outside! (Good thinking Batman!) But being a bit too clever and an idiot decided to give it one more go with a bit more muscle power...... snap :argh:

Anyone with experience on how to fix the inside door latch without going the garage-cost-loada-money way?

Is the car under warranty?

If it is and it was caused by the cold, it is not fit for purpose and should be fixed FOC.

No, the car is just over 7 years old!
