Just started to do drivers side check strap bush and plate and there is no mechanism on this side. The actual strap is there but not connected to anything. Searched around in the bottom of the door and it ain't there.

Why would someone completely remove the mechanism and leave a strap to do nothing? Any idea how much these are to replace? It would be nice for my door to stay open, instead of using my foot.

At least you have  the strap When I looked at mine there was nothing there   Not sure how much a new one is. I managed to get one  £9.99 from  las_jacarandas (thanks Henry) on here have a word he may be able to help or try any of the others that are breaking cars on here  a go

Hi phate321, I have a used strap you can have, just pay the postage and I will send it to you, PM me your address
p.s. I assume it is the front drivers side you need

Mine is FUBAR too and doesn't seem to have anything on the end..... haven't checked the inside of the door yet tho so dunno if it's gonna be in there

Many thanks to Philayl for the replacement check strap mechanism. However, upon fitting I discovered that some eejit has ripped the last one out. They have taken out the bottom screw and then just yanked at it. So now the hole where the strap comes through and the top screw hole have become one   It was completely mangled.

Managed to straighten it out enough to get the new one in. It is only secured on the bottom screw at the moment. I am hoping that the reinforcement plate that I have on back order will be sufficient to secure the top.
