Well, 2 locks decided to play up today...guess the springs have gone...perfect timing as mot tomorrow.

So a bit of work and modification, have got the front passenger and boot door working again. If it works for a while with no probems I will post up what I have done as took me 30 mins for front door, as studied the locking mechanism and worked out a way to stop the door knob dropping and seems to have worked....now I just need to see what else the mot bod has to say....already praying to the car gods ready......

It was getting to the stage you couldn't get in....so have spent a few hours on the old girl preping her, and the locks are now done..well they now now, tomorrow is a different day...

Only worry is my sills, as when i put on the sliders they collapsed a little, so don't look pleasant, but knarks me as they are not structual ....but no doubt could be something else hiding....

I thought they were made like that as standard to let the water out from all the leaks
