    Hi, decided to give the car a blast today and went to open the drivers door and the handle just lifts up and door refuses to open. Only way I could get in was through passenger door and when I lift the inside handle up too that just lifts up very easy so feels like the cable has come loose

    Didnt stop me from giving the car a blast though but is there a way to manually open the door so I can take the door panel off and have a look???

    Cheers

    Just drive it like bo and luke... in thru the window.

    Also the striker on the door can come loose and then make it difficult to open and close. Should be an easy fix either way.

    I recall getting my 355 all ready for a 1000 mile drive and then, at the last minute, the driver door handle did just what you said, moved but door wouldn't open. Had to enter through the passenger side door the entire 2 week trip. I put it down to Ferrari "quality". Hasn't happened on my CS yet, but your story makes me worry. I could never imagine such a thing happening on my Porsches or even my Honda CRV in 200 thousand miles. Again, Ferrari "quality".
