Drivers Door won't open - after changing handle carrier

[sheepdip]

I broke my drivers door handle carrier by being heavy handed during the recent freeze - though I could still open the door using the inside handle/opener after opening the windows with the remote.

I followed the procedures here http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-fix-pics.html to replace it and have to say the change went great.

After putting it all back together the door handle worked about 3 times but now the door is firmly stuck closed - won't open whether I try with the inside or outside handle.

Door seems to lock/unlock with remote (button pops up and down) but door stays shut. Windows work fine with remote and switches on the door.

I am trying to remove the door panel with the door shut but as it's now dark and kin freezing I've knocked it on the head - probably till next weekend.

Has anyone got any tips for this one?

Cheers
