Thread: Rear Door unlock problem - Disco 1

If it's any consolation Falcons used to do it too, there's a little spring that holds the lock at full travel each way and of course it breaks. I don't know how many I fitted, haven't done a D1 yet though.

Do a search for D1 door lock springs and you'll find the answer

Excellent tutorial,
links to ebay spring suppliers,
much informative discussion ......

easy DIY job for the confident

Thanks I just ordered a set, the rear passenger doors are starting to play up too.

Yeah, I ordered a set also. My tailgate door does exactly the same thing.

The hardest part I reckon will be the Door cards,, getting them off without breaking the retaining plugs. Lucky I scored a set from an member.
I reckon the springs would be easy enough to make if you had the correct wire, but for the time and effort it seems a better option to just buy them.

Damn, wish I had thought of that. I have a roll of spring wire here somewhere. I could have made up my own.

A business opportunity knocking whilst you are relaxing and having a couple of sherbets, you could make a few and sell them.
