T5.1 Side door locking mechanism issue

Hello Everyone,

First post. I have a t5.1 which has an issue with the side door latch / locking mechanism. The outer door handle opens the door fine. However the inner handle does not.

I have removed the mechanism and found that the inner handle actuator pulls only the cable to the front lower latch and not to the rear latch. I have opened up the mechanism and attached a photo with some numbers drawn on it.

Basically if you push #1 then #2 and #3 move i.e. both cables are pulled.
However if you move #4 only #3 moves

I would expect moving #4 should mimic what moving #1 does i.e. actuate both #2 & #3 and pull both cables thus opening both door mechanisms.
