Had some trouble with my drivers door handle when i Pulled it outwards it wouldn't unlock the catch so i took the whole assembly apart and was just about to bend the offending lever when i had lunch first, during lunch, (a very nice lasagne ) i read the reassembly section which said that the door handle can be adjusted with an eccentric screw in the side of the door, so great ! no bending, however on reassembly the part of the lock that connects to the central locking ( see picture ) is not now moving its full range so the door lock and central locking is now not working so i've solved one problem and created another I have had the door catch mechanism out and the part that connects to the central locking does not seem to move as much as it should
any ideas anyone ??? trying to post the piccies here or below

The lever which hardly moves ( is it to do with the lock orientation ???)

is connected to the central locking unit and pushbutton lock on top of door trim none of this moves as it should its restricted ???? the central locking unit on its own moves freely and locks and unlocks .
