Hi all!

I’m hoping someone can help, my 1991 Cooper has resently come back from having some bodywork done, and I’m just about to refit the door cards and internal handles etc. The problem I have is that on both doors, the internal door release lever won’t turn!

The doors open and lock from the outside and I can lock them from the inside, but I can’t open them from the inside!

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Cheers!

Body shop didn't know how to fit the fiddly little clip........so the lever isn't properly connected or jamming as its become disconnected when the lever fell off the lock mech (because the little clip wasn't fitted/properly

Thanks Steve, they were on the wrong sides, but I’ve swapped them over and they now work!
