Thanks Carolyn and Coco Haywood

Thanks John. You don't know how much that means 👍👍🥰

Thanks Ari. 👍👍

Thanks Gill. Take care 👍👍👍

Great tip, David Statham. I hope the video gave you the confidence to do your door ?

Thanks so much No Worries Nomad. I'm glad you enjoy our videos 👍👍. What campervan/ motorhome do you have and does it need working on too?

@@HermanHitstheRoad I got my self a new Relay H3L4 and self converted it, its ok so and I love it....👍👍

Thanks Drexel 👍👍

Thanks Anthony but that wouldn't be fixing the actual problem

That sounds like a great idea, Ian Harris 👍😂

Thanks Bryan. I'm glad you found the video useful. 👍👍

Thanks Newalks. That means a lot to me. Cheers 👍👍👍

Thanks John and Nici.

Thanks for commenting, Mark Wilkinson. 👍👍👍

I don't think I have a black plastic lock pin, David Siddall and I hope I don't ever have to take it off again. 😂😉

@@HermanHitstheRoad that’s the black pin that moves up and down when you lock the door it fell out of the side panel when you tried to put it back on, but it’s all done now so life moves on. When are we seeing the driveshaft video?

The drive shaft video will be out in a few weeks time, David

I do hope so, P Journeys because I don't want to take it off again. Thanks 👍👍

Thanks for commenting, Andrew Gledhill. It needs to be able to flick back and forth otherwise it would stop the door pull from moving 👍👍

@@HermanHitstheRoad I just thought it was strange that there was a hole moulded in behind that spring. It did look to me that there should be a shaft in that hole.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed it. I'd consider it if ever I have to take the door off again 👍👍

@@HermanHitstheRoad As long as it is working OK. It should be fine. If it fails again, you can then look at it again mate.

Thanks Ray. I hope you found it useful 👍

Thanks Dave, Helen and Thomas. Glad you liked it 👍👍

Thanks for commenting, Put je Cilj. I'm glad you enjoyed the video

Hi Mickey, I thought about fixing the area around the door latch but I don't think there's much room for fibre-glass and the latch. I'm not sure what you mean by the pin unscrewing.

@@HermanHitstheRoad It's a fair cop , mate , i dunno what it's called either . The black plunger you show at 2:17 for the interior lock release . They normally unscrew , but i will admit , i tried mine today , and it don't seem to want to play . It could be stiff , but it could also be fixed . It would be the first one i've come across that don't unscrew . Both my other cars do , and ones a 94 Citroen , 6 years older . My door card is gonna be quite a major job , as i said it's in quite a state . I've been having a look at it today , and it looks like it will just about fall out . It's not that securely fixed along the forward end of the door , relying on several screws to hold it in place , though a couple of the screw holes have broken through . I'm gonna plastic weld the thing . Sink some reinforcement in , then fair off with new plastic . Got no chance of getting filler rod the right colour , normally comes in either white or black , and that's if i can identify the plastic type . I'm not sure how long a fibreglass repair would last , i get the feeling it's a stress area , and plastic can be tricky to get a grip on . The dashboard is a polythene mix , and i never figured out what the bumper was , i was forced to use a special general purpose rod . That's the tricky part of plastic welding , you must identify the plastic first . Mixing leads to a weak repair , and eventual failure , the actual repair itself , is a doodle . I just got too much on right now to get on with it , so it's on the to do list , though i do wanna fit the dead lock . I wanna get this van back on the road this year , for a special trip next year . So it may not get done till next autumn .

Good luck with your repairs, Mickey. I tried to unscrew the door plunger, it wouldn't come off 👍👍

Wow, Digger Buckett. That sounds similar to what we've done or going to do on Herman. Good luck and let us know how you get on 👍👍

@@HermanHitstheRoad The Beauty of owning an older Motorhome. There is plenty of rusty bits and weaken plastic to deal with. She did pass her MOT first time round a few days ago, as she has failed a good few previous ones, normally down to the bulb carrier on the rear light clusters being pretty much open to the elements. Last years I was in the Garages yard changing the marker light fittings and lashing in the battery. Ordered a new clamp but it needed a bit of massaging to get it to fit. The battery is meant to be a direct replacement for the original one, but it is slightly wider. when we bought Nessa there was nothing holding the battery in other than it being very tight withing the cradle and surrounding area.

That's a great idea, Andrew. Now, why didn't I think of that? 👍👍 thanks

Thanks, @maggiereid9625. I've taken the door off so many times that it is easy for me. What do you need a spring for? Do you mean the one that goes around the barrel to return the lock to the same position? We have two locks where the spring has broken and we just manually turn it back to the centre position. It would be nice to have the springs, though

You know what David? I have a set of plastic trim removers. Didn't think to use them 🤣👍👍 but thanks for the tip 😉

Hmm 🤔 who's the getaway driver?

Haha, whew. I glad you are, HitchUpAndTow this is a family show 😂👍😉

Could it be the window motor squeaking or is it the glass, Paul?

@@HermanHitstheRoad The window glass as it only happens between points

Thanks Carolyn and Coco Haywood
