Indeed that’s my plans to get it retested within the 10 x working days which takes me to the 3rd aug
Once I fit the new actuator will indeed refit the card and handle etc
To be honest I haven’t tried opening it from the inside , when I pressed the lock/ unlock dashboard button and door card off I could see the cable end move
Strangely now opens fine from the outside door handle , assume the actuator had jammed and deadlocked which prevented it from opening until I messed around with the dashboard switch
I’ve also ordered a new outside handle cable as it was only £5 just in case it was broken and at least had it to hand

Also found this on u tube , ref replacing the door actuator
Plus thought I’ve got the child locks on so will turn them off when I refit the lock so will open from the inside and they can’t complain then
Disconnecting the outside handle cable looks fidly and also thinking a way how to get the glass out whilst undoing the clip with being on my own
Just wished to share the video in case it may help others in the future
