The XF has central locking fitted, and while at the drive in, at the end of the movie, I tried to open the door from inside not knowing my elbow was resting on the lock latch, so as I tried to open it, my elbow pushed it down, and whammo, a strange noise came from the door, and its jammed shut....and the opening handle on the inside is stuck in the open position.
So after crawling out through the passenger side door (extremely embarrassing), and trying to unlock it with the key, and open it from outside, inside and ouside again, nothing has worked.
My dilemma, how do I open the F#@*!er???? If it won't open, how do I take the door trim off to inspect??
I know it sounds stupid, but have you tried pulling the handle inside whilst lifting the button??? If not you have to try and get the door trim open enough to get your hand in to operate the door lock.

the lock on my xf drivers front door is broken too. I think it is one simple little spring(probably only 5c, but can't buy anywhere!!), cause it wont stay in the unlocked position. I have to open the car with the key everytime. And i have to hold the key in the "unlock" position while pulling on the handle. The rest of the car is keyless entry, so i hate it how i have to stand in the rain for an extra few seconds fiddling with the key... its embarassing....
I've had central locking (or keyless entry.. to sound more flashier) for about 1.5 years now, and its the best thing ever. I'd die to go back to locking the doors by hand again!
