Hi All.
The wifes' car has a problem, the rear door (not boot) isn't catching properly (it's not engaging the latch).
When the metal latch clicks down, there appears to be a small black piece (disc?) of metal that should rotate a fraction (perhaps 20°?) to allow the latch to catch. (from looking at the good rear door. The NG door doesn't appear to allow this part to rotate.
Copious amounts of WD-40 have sorted it enough for the door to be closed and allow the car to lock, but I need to have a look properly at the weekend.
Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the door latch machanism, so that I can tread carefully?
I plan to remove the interior of the door (upholstery) and then undo the door catch (3 fair-sized screws in a triangle formation) and take out the unit, take it apart if possible and grease the item.
Any recommendations/warnings welcome.
Thanks,
Paul Mc
