Driver's door not opening smoothly
« on: 14 October 2011, 17:35:54 »
hi guys,

as above when i open and close the door it makes a horrible noise... difficult to describe but if i was to open or close the door there would be two or three loud clicking noises  :-\

has anyone any ideas on how to remedy so door shuts smoothly?

cheers.  :y :y :y

yes - check the maint guide index for something along the lines of door check strap - you just need a new, 20p plastic bush with a bit of luck :y

also just check that the 2x bolts (10mm)that hold the checkstrap to the door arent loose  :y
