The ones in the picture that were mentioned look like they go in the hole and would not have been big enough to repair mine  :-?

Are we talking about the plasti cbush, or the repair kit for when the strap pulls out of the door?

I have ordered the kit today to have a look at the bits the toatal came to £5.90 so even if I do not use the bits I am sure someone may be able to use them  ;) Oh by the way how long does it usualy take before you can use the AS trade card I tried to register mine and was told I would have to wait until Monday is this normal  :question Must say I was not impressed by the service of bloke on the parts desk nearly 3/4 hour to order the door repair kit and register the card and came away with nothing bits may be in on Monday  :-/

I have the repair plates, but I'm worried mine may have this problem as the driver's door is pretty mangled :(

Quite why GM decided to manufacture the doors from papier-mâché is beyond me >:(

Do they do TC though, I thought Kidlington would have been a better bet obviously not the case  >:( The Bicester one is very close to me so will try them. I have actually got a voucher for a free health check for the car so I think I should pop in and see them. Thanks for that TB
