Ive replaced mine , is it true that if the door clicks its an MOT failure now  :-\
WHAT? Is that for real? I know there have been some changes but a clicking door???

Apart from it being annoying i replaced mine as i heard on here that it was an mot fail as the door wont hold open to stop it slamming shut if the bushes are worn  :-\

Ok, that makes sence but I thought the bushes go in the end of the check link to the body???

Different fault .. although not replacing the bushes when they first start making a noise can result in the further failure of the checkstrap mechanism  which rips out of the door, which then won't stay open ..... one leads to the other eventually ....
