I need to get into the driver’s door and cannot see any fixings to undo, any pointers please?

You need to remove the door card?

Both pins for the door pocket hinges have come out and I either need to remove the inside of the door or better still just the door pocket, as the door pocket has the seat memory buttons within it I did not wish to force this as there appears to be some kind of linkage on the right hand side, hope this helps, thanks Chris.

Hi Chris, was that a question or an answer?

Hi Chris, was that a question or an answer?
I did what you are doing a few years ago. You need to buy new sacrificial clips for around the door card as they shatter and ruin, especially when it's cool weather like now as the plastic turns stiff. Remove the walnut/wood trim with a plastic trim pry or plastic spudger, starting at the hinge end with the door open. Pry off the wooden strip and then remove the screws behind. IIRC there are also screws behind the stowage boxes and maybe door handle trim. Also check around the door card edges for screws.
Sorry it's a blur with my previous cars, but buy ELSAWIN 4 or 5 off ebay if you want the software manuals.

I fixed the box with short stubby self-tapping screws screwed in with glue on them into holes I drilled - screwed from behind to create new pins.

Thanks Snapdragon, just ordered ELSAWIN 5.1, kind regards, Bob.
