Title: Rear o/s door latch
Post by adamapple123 on May 2^nd, 2006, 10:46pm

Hiya folks, I'm new to this site and like what your all doing very much!
I was wondering if anybody could help with diagnosing the problem with my rear o/s door. It's started not closing correctly, I've looked at the latch and it doesn't seem to give any resistance like the others do. I've been in touch with a breaker who is wanting to sell me a whole motor assembly unit for £34. On the other hand a mate of mine has said that it's just a spring come off and simply needs the door interior stripping off and the spring putting back on. Don't really want to strip everything off only to find that i need this motor assembly unit thingy and have to order and wait for it. I'd rather know in advance and get the part before i strip it down. The door aligns perfectly and will shut properly if you really slam the hell out of it but it really needs fixing. Hope you can help! Thanks in advance. Trev :'( :(
