Finally got a break in the weather to have a look at this, and from reading the PDF it looked easy. Got the door card off and had a good look around and discovered you can't get to the lock because of the door frame, so buttoned it all up again.
Had a more thorough read of the PDF and it says to remove the door subframe, and then talks about alignment afterwards. Looking at the instructions for the subframe removal, am I right in thinking that the subframe contains the window and window frame, the door stays attached to the car and that the alignment is to the window frame after refitting? Just wondering how long that would take as the instructions seem to imply it's relatively easy.
On another note and something I never noticed before as I rarely venture out after dark, but when I (can) unlock the car (after my reboot), the interior lights don't come on. However, if I then drive the car for a short drive of a couple of miles to the local shop, lock it up for a time and then unlock it, the interior lights do come on. Just wondering if one of the microswitches in the door handle is packing up and that's why I can't unlock the car with the fob (without a reboot).
