Are the door mechanisms on the rear passenger doors of an estate the same as the front passenger doors, just need to know if mine is damaged from the accident I may need to get one quick . The door at the moment will not open from the outside but opens from the inside.

Got a good guy to paint the second hand door skin and swap over my internals and fit it for £250 as a quote which I have said ok to. The car will now be classed as an N for insurance classification since it was uneconomical to repair and I bought it back. Its going in his garage next month.

Got a second hand door from a scrap yard in Northumberland for £60. Just waiting for the insurance people now .

Thanks for the info, I might just try it myself.

Hi, the colour is samarkan blue. They are getting fewer every month, I was hoping to get a complete one but can get a second hand skin for about £40/50 quid then transfer the inside parts of mine from ebay. Thanks for your reply.

Hi, yesterday someone reversed into my rear n/s door of my estate. Got told today of price and I know it will be scrapped by insurance company. I will want to buy it back as it is only on 82000 miles, has anyone got a one ?I am in the Durham area.

Had my HDI estate 16mths now on 80,000 miles. Its got to see me through another 4yrs. Measured values on MOT test 0.41 on super market fuel and dropped lead tablets from classic car weekly in the tank. Anybody else tried them? Hoping spares don`t run out for these cars as there not many left. I woul...

Found the culprit, took earth leads off from battery to chassis and to starter motor bolt, filed them and copper slip then back together. starter motor spins faster and central locking works faster. To look at they seemed fine .

Battery died again this morning looking at getting another starter but where do you get one ? Who sells a good starter ?

I see what you mean, i asked the electrician to check all that, I could see that many things have been turned on in the car to test the output of the alternator and everything is working as it should. If its an intermittent fault then I will have to wait till things get worse he says.

Not got a meter steve , what were you thinking of ? I am thinking aftermarket starter but also more to the idea something is drawing the power. Left battery connector off last night and will do that for a week or two and see if it extends the battery life, its just a thought

I have had similar sluggish starting, bought new battery, it lasted 5 weeks before leaving car out till late then at time to put away battery died. Got it charged enough to start then back in garage. Left on charge all night , no problem for a while ,then it nearly happened again. Just had the alter...

Its been a while since posting about maf sensors , but I also found out when I went to get the exhaust replaced that I had the wrong one on. Now have the right one fitted and mpg has increased a little. Also got that guy on ebay that repairs the com2000, I drove down to him and he fitted a delta tha...

Fitted the VDO maf sensor(£89) on ebay and been running great with no lagging, have yet to fit blanking plate, in the new year.
