Take yer doors off....or take your windows out and climb thru the front...it's closer :D

Where is the problem, what keeps stuffing up.
There are a few places you can adjust them - catch in door, hinge plates for example. Do they keep stuffing up in the same place?

Don Kyatts do them.
Is the door adjusted correctly, if not you may have to put too much force on the handle.

It is the deisel fumes, it makes you twice as strong as petrol owners :D


But basically I concer with above posts

I replace mine every now and then but I have my strikers adjusted so the doors are very tight against rubbers to stop them rattling

see i thought straight away, its yoru super human strength from not having power steering. but you do have it. or should.

so then its a case of, why have door handles! go soft top half fibreglass doors where the latch is on the inside!!!
keeps it looking tidy on the outside, and gives you a laugh as EVERYONE tries to find the handle.

You should do the bushes in the hinge and the catch and stricker plate or the handle will break again in 3 mths
