Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just got out the car and left briefcase in back seat. Went to open the door and the handle does not engage the unlocking mechanism. The window moves, but I cant get in... Passenger side is fine, and the drivers side opens from the indside fine too - so it must be something to do with the drivers side outside handle mechanism. Anybody else had this problem? is there a quick solution? And is it costly if i go to get it fixed at my garage... thanks tom
Fairly common, I'm afraid. It is either part 9 or 12 which has become detached or broken. I can't say how easy it is, as I have never replaced one, but it isn't an expensive part.
Had same problem on mine. I took the door card off and found that there was a sliding sleeve locking part 9 and 12 together. It was hard to see and access fiddly. I slid sleeve it back into place, no trouble since ( that was 18 months ago). Cost me nothing but time in stripping the door (carefully)
