Hi there,
I was wondering whether anyone has fitted a door check strap on the Doblo? This is the metal strap between the door and the body that stops the door from opening too far. The little bracket that holds the strap onto the door broke on my driver's side and, since it is all one assembly, I've had to source a replacement (which amazingly, I did easily on ebay).
When I unbolted the old strap at the car body end, the old strap fell into the body - not a problem. However, by the look of the new one:
I may not be able to insert it through the opening in the body and so will have to get at it from underneath. Is this is a case of undoing the wheel arch plastic cowling and getting in from there, or might it be accessible from inside the cab?
Bit of a pain but the MOT is coming up and I think I'll need to do it to pass! Thanks for any help.
PS I'm not really new - I posted quite a bit a couple of years back when I first got my Doblo, but lost my old account details.
