Re: [doc] Darned Door!!!

["Ian Foster" <ian@xxxx>]

Yes Chris,

It was the front lock that was catching last time (rear lock would release,
leaving door closed 'diagonally'!!). That was about 2 years ago and Mark did
an excellent job at sorting it out.

This problem now seems to be different, I can hear the bar/arm trying to
release, but somehow it is blocked ...?

If you know of a good petrol additive I can get my father to do it and run
it for a while. She was running sweet though during last week, after having
sat for a year! I need a real speedo, not that 85mph BS to see what speed
I'm really doing!!!

PS. Your new seat covers look good in her.

Cheers, IAN
