Hey guys,
The front passenger door on zee luxomobile isn't closing properly. On the other doors you get the very familiar click-thunk sound. On this door, its just the thunk and quite often it just bounces back at you and can take 2 or 3 goes to get it to shut and stay. I'll be pulling the door trim etc off tomorrow to take a squiz, but does anyone have any idea on where to start looking, or any known issues in this area? Cheers, Lurch

dirty lock mechanism, give it a soak with wd40 or such and flick the linkages on the lock mech around to free things up

I'm assuming the primary upper latch is meant to have some kind of downward pressure on it (a tension spring or something). Well - it didn't. I dodgy'd up a spring in there for now; and its better (now closes 3 out 4 times). Will source a new lock mechanism next week.
