Down to about my last 10 - every Omega that comes round tends to get replacements...

I repaired by door today too. The inner bit was totaly shot :( so I have made a plate 2mm stainless bolted the stay to that and then bolted that to the outer skin. Seems to be working ok :)

You didn't have to make it, there's a proper fix with proper parts! Common problem mate!

I did that the other day! Best repair ever! Why didn't I do it earlier!?! ;D

Does the repair plate fit over the hole on the outer skin of the door then :question there was nothing much left of the inner section on mine so I made the plate up

2 plates, clamperd either side of door skin....

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?
-
They must have seen me coming,the main agent ,I paid 50p for two.
-
Sorry I meant the plates ;)
-
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 :-/

blimey, big enough to know better,
use the one in bicester - ok, have to order stuff, but hassle free...

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

bicester certainly take my (genuine) TC card, so ABS be no probs (take the slip with the number on in case of queries)
