Can't lock drivers door . . . .

Post by **Buzby58** » Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:14 am

Seems I have a problem with the drivers door (2 door saloon) in so much I can't lock it - the key turns but the interior door lock catch lever is very sloppy. With the door open, if I hold the lever up the lock works but let go or shut the door it then drops and the lock opens.

Is there anyway of adjusting the tightness or should I be looking for a replacement?

TIA

Grant

Unfortunately there is no adjustment, but it sounds to me like a small spring has failed. When you take the lock out it should be clear which bit it is. The bad news is that I have never found anywhere selling the replacement, it's a question of picking up a second hand unit from somewhere.

Bull Motif have them on their website as fully reconditioned.

Can you move the door lever such that gravity pulls it the other way, i.e. to hold it locked rather than work against the lock?
