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.
