Remove the door trim on the passenger side door so you can see what your aiming for mate. The mechanisms are all rods. Figure out the rod you need to manipulate on the passenger door and you should be able to come up with a plan for getting to it with the door shut.

Not sure that this is relevant, but in the past I owned a sucession of Ford XE's & XF's, well known for busted door handles. On numerous occasions I had to pull door skins off & muck around with connecting rods. The rods operated by the exterior handle & the rods operated by the internal handle were separate. Consequently if the external handle broke, the door could still be opened from inside, & vice versa. The fact that Growler is unable to open the door from both inside & outside unfortunately has me thinking that this is not a 'rod issue' & that getting access into the inside of the door is unlikely to resolve the problem.
If it is as Wizard posted, the problem part requires access to the actual locking mechanism from the rear outside of the door, & therein lies the problem.

I know the Gman specifically want manual windows ,but to eliminate this problem
would it be worth fitting remote locking, just saying. This would Pi$$ me off no
end if it happened to me. Would it worthwhile to ring a mobile mechanic to
come around and have a look. Is there a sure fire fix for this problem or will it re occur?
