Sorted it.. It turned out that the door undoing rod (with the screw adjuster on the bottom) coming down from the outside handle needed undoing a bit. When i put the new handle in i had to stretch the rod to fit it back. I started to take it all apart again, but the door opened when i released...

After having a nosey it looks like its a spring that breaks n causes problems. You can buy the springs on ebay, but the problem i have is getting the door open so that i can get to the lock..

Can anyone help me please. I recently changed my drivers door outside handle because the metal handle had broken. All went ok and after i finished it worked a treat, opening the door easier than before, but then i went to get in one morning and it wont open.. I have searched on here but cannot...

I did mine n it took me all Winter working on it at weekends outside. I was no welder but I did it n now I got me a bloody good motor :0) Ave at it.. Plenty of freds on here about doing them up. This is my story.. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f20/hello-cornwall-disco-project-165186.html

get rid of all the couch grass before you rotorvate.. Unlike what I did :o

Photos. Or it aint true..

Take the door card off n see if all the gubins are in place..

It doesnt need one.. You should be more worried about excessive rust within 30 cm of a mount..

thats just a bit more room lengthwise than a 110.. Nice work. I would like to do mine but I need a couple of seats in the back..

Could you pm me with a price delivered please chap :)

Looks like fun.. Whats that huge great mountain..?

Would you have a drivers door handle for a disco 1 Dave..?

I would of thought its a straight swap. Might rivet panels on mine on day.

Tis already bought ;)

Might be worth getting someone else to do it then, just in case you have probs with the water pump cover like i did.

Old one is not scrap, I might try n recondition it. Good to know I can do it by eye though, I have only ever done one clutch before n that was a mk 11 cortina and I didnt know anything about aligning tools n it was a bitch to do.. Cheers Pikey, will get a new slave n push rod. Did I read once...

Finally getting onto this job soon.. Just ordered up a quality clutch kit, hd release fork, crankshaft oil seal and a timing belt kit including both pulleys. I need to get me a clutch aligning tool, can anyone tell me if this will do the job, or do I need a better one..? CLUTCH MATE UNI CLUTCH...

Have a go.. If i can do it then i bet you can.. Watch this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yeAc3kdGz88

Pished..!

If you are looking into the turbo n there is movement away n towards you, the turbo is knackered, yes..?
