Re: [doc] Help with non starter and frozen door.

["Mike" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan

Where abouts are you?...might help if people know and maybe they 
could help sort your door out etc if nearby.... i have a few pics and 
how toos in a manual on the door adjustments ...if you need to take a 
look i could scan these in and send them when i get home?


As a 'new owner' and whilst it says nothing about your problems i 
found this guys site to be spot on for servicing and general 
replacemts etc !

Can you describe your starting problem  / noises again so that we can 
help a little more.... is your battery fully charged and holding at 
the 12.6 amps? my 'old one' was only at 12.1 and still not enough to 
make mine start only a clicking noise from the engine bay was heard. 
Im assuming that this car started ok in the US?

oh and one thing you learn with d's is not to panic ...of all cars i 
have had you will get the most help with these:)
